I usually scan through the EULA of any program I install to see if there are any bits that mention installing third party software (adware) as a requirement. Programs like that can be pretty dangerous as they might not be easily removed, and can cause you a lot of headache.
I assume that EULAlyzer does this for you automatically though. How does the program work? Does it run in your system tray all the time or do you simply launch the program when you're installing new software?
I actually remember a tech blog posting an article about a guy who won some prize for doing something that was hidden away in the EULA. Send an email to this addy and you'll receive this prize. Was pretty neat! Of course, not likely to happen again. My calc 2 teacher actually hid a note in the 4 page syllabus at the beginning of last semester. If we sent an email to him mentioning it we'd get 5 extra credit points. Wish more professors were as enthusiastic about what they do as he was. Had some pretty interesting facts and knowledge about calculus, and the history of mathematics.
ANYWAY! lol. Do let me know how useful it's been for ya. How often you use it, how manageable it is, and how much it's worth having it. You know... the sort of things you can only learn about a program after using it for a while. |
