[QUOTE="ParaXY, post: 715595, member: 60186"] [B]There is no such thing as a trusted software[/B] Well said :) That's why I have set my firewall to block all outgoing requests by default and now use SUMo only to check for updates to my installed software. I know most people won't do this but I also run my own WSUS (Windows Update) server at home which gives me 100% control over what is approved and installed on my machine and servers at home. I've been doing this for almost 2yrs now and it has worked well. [/QUOTE]
