Anybody know?

I run both Spybot and AdAware frequently, and I don't remember either one having flagged CutList Plus or any of its components.

OTOH, it has been about a year since I installed CLP, and many things could have happened in a year, for example

a) If Spybot or AdAware flagged something right after I installed CLP, I could have forgotten about it by now

b) the vendor may have deliberately included some sort of tracking software with new versions of CLP that wasn't there when I downloaded it

c) the vendor's server may have been hacked

I'm running CutList Plus version WD-5.5.14, if that's any help.

Todd Peterson, the man in charge at Bridgewood Design, publishers of Cut List Plus would know and seems honest, at least with my many dealings with him. E-mail him. He normally returns my e-mails within 24 hours, most of the time much sooner. I use the commercial version of this program and have no problems with spy ware.

Be aware that Spybot Search and Destroy sometimes thinks AdAware is spyware. IIRC Spybot thinks some cookies are spyware. Perhaps a cookie from the Bridgewood site brought up the red flag.

You can upgrade to version WD2004 r7. This is what I am using. IIRC ALL upgrades are free once you are registered.

Been using CutList Plus for years and a spyware program for one or two and CutList has never shown up on it.

Both spytrackers have their own forum. Try them.

Be warned. They are righteous folk. Be ready to control your temper, be questioned in detail, ntn to question their ethos...etc etc DMAHIKT.

Beware other likenamed sites. These sites have been ripped on the net.

See if it tries to call out or see if there has been a rule created for access.
