I did a search of the archives and apparently there was quite a stir back in july 2006 when they sent out postcards asking employees to visit the website and answer a few questions.  It seems they secretly downloaded this program to the computers of those that logged on and answered the questions.  I don't recall getting that postcard, but I've gotten a new computer since then anyway and I'm sure all computers are sent out with that program already downloaded.  I'm pretty sure now, more than ever, that they can track our every move via this nice little program.  The only ones safe from this are those who own their own computer.  I guess I will be buying my own computer in the very near future.  Thanks for the info/warning.  I definitely appreciate it.
