Moderators hazelnut Posted August 21, 2008 Author Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2008 Some people may not like having a hidden file on their system Kenny, and are entitled to be made aware of it in my opinion. All my post did was bring this fact to their attention.

All my post did was bring this fact to their attention. I'm with you on this Hazel. I hate any software that attempts to hide information from the user.

Moderators DennisD Posted August 21, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2008 I agree Hazel. It's the fact that they just "matter of factly" invade your privacy and dump something on your pc you don't want or need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom AZ Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Not too long ago, someone mentioned an alternative to SiteAdvisor, but I can't remember what it was. Can anyone refresh my tired, old memory ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredvries Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Since cleaning of SiteAdvisor is already in the winapp2.ini file, we could add cleaning...

Moderators DennisD Posted August 21, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think that was it, Dennis. Have you by chance tried it? I'm using Opera all the time now, and there's no Site Advisor for it, but I fired up FF and installed it under Returnil out of curiosity. I didn't get past the ULA. I didn't like giving them carte blanche permission to take details of all the sites I visit, so I declined and it was removed. I always read ULA's.

YoKenny Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think that was it, Dennis. Have you by chance tried it? I'm using WoT on my XP Home system. I like it because it takes input and acts on it unlike SiteAdvisor. One of its feeds is the hpHosts file.

Moderators Andavari Posted August 22, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2008 Would my solution work? That's exactly what I was thinking of doing if those files in appdata appeared. Although the ending " on your FileKey4 probably shouldn't be there. So far I don't have any of those folders, etc., on my system using Firefox's SA 26.6. To be honest it really doesn't worry me one bit, because I can have CCleaner secure delete the files in that folder. I know people are upset and call it a privacy concern, however when on the Internet data collection is rampant, so don't think someone or some big company, or some government couldn't pull up everything you've looked at via cooperation with your ISP, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
