"In our test installation, Cydoor's CD_CLINT.DLL downloaded executable code to the test system [log]. While the code (a Visual C++ library, ATL.DLL) was not malicious, the program's ability to silently load executable code presents a potential security vulnerability to the user.

The current version appears to respect the user's privacy and informed consent. Therefore, we consider this version most accurately categorized as "Adware".

Older versions could more accurately be considered "Spyware". - cexx.org

and newer versions may again in the future, perhaps when the heat cools. in any event the ringing endorsment right now has the shaky qualifier "appears", muffling this bell too much for me.

thanks but no thanks, i'll pass.
