Message: [QUOTE="Boltneck, post: 656766, member: 29202"] I didn't read the licence agreement when I signed up - I doubt that many people do. Still, I would entirely agree that I should have read the agreement, so can have no complaints. I do not know if the licence agreement (that I didn't read) specifically and categorically says that PS will scan my PC for software that they don't like - I suspect not. However, that's not really the point that I was (trying) to make. Neither is it the case that I do not trust Poker Stars. I found out about the scanning quite by accident, and found it to be somewhat surprising. I thought it might be of interest (and / or concern) to others, so posted to see what the concensus of opinion is. I have nothing on this PC that I would not be happy for anyone to see, I am not a conspiracy theorist, and have no intention of uninstalling PS software. That said, l do have reservations about a company that decides what other (perfectly legal) software they do not permit you to use, and scans your PC for it's presence without out being [B]very [/B]up front about it. For example, if when opening the PS software a pop-up appeared saying that "we are scanning your PC for software that we do not allow" I would have no problems at all with that approach, though I suspect that their legendary huge traffic would dry up overnight if they did that. It's the somewhat stealthy was thay do it that I'm slightly uncomfortable with. I may check their T's & C's at some stage to see exactly what it does say on this issue. If other companies from whom one downloads software took this approach, I suspect that there would be an outcry. Boltneck [/QUOTE]
