There was is no option to opt out and registration is to no avail. Also, the spyware would not be removed if GetRight was uninstalled and it would run even when GetRight was not running or even uninstalled. * GetRight v4.2 also installs spyware. With one exception, if you enter the reg code at the very beginning of the setup process GetRight won't stick you with the spyware. Anon installed GetRight as an evaluation and even if he registered it, he would still have to go through additional processes to remove the spyware, the reason why is because registration doesn't remove the spyware. A utility such as GetRight's utility or OptOut should be downloaded and ran to remove the spyware even after if it's registered. Note that SpyBot and Ad-Aware will NOT remove the spyware from this program! This info is from the Privacy Power! web page. Just a warning! Art
