Rumours that eXeem, the replacement for SuprNova, comes with adware called Cydoor that actually installs advertisements on users’ hard drives and pulls them up when the eXeem opens, are true.
In other words, Cydoor gets free access to your hard-drive and, by implication, everything that’s in it.
“The Cydoor Network allows online advertisers to target, optimize and achieve successful results across billions of monthly impressions, many IAB standard media formats and a vast worldwide audience of more than 80 million people,” it boasts on its home page, going on:
“The Cydoor Network is comprised of an extremely desirable global audience that achieves outstanding response and facilitates brand identity.”
That’s you.
It, “Transmits email address and user-supplied demographic information (if supplied) to Cydoor,” says Pest Patrol. “Demographic info is shared with third parties. Transmits advertising metrics such as ad displays and clicks.”
Does that make it spyware rather than adware?
