Story: Lexmark accused of installing spyware
Posted by: Anonymous (Tuesday 16 November 2004, 2:23 PM)
Wow, big deal. Kodak photo printers have obviously been doing this for a while. Spyware, ads suddenly appearing and god knows what else happening and this continued even after downloading the latest software/drivers downloaded from Kodaks website. They obviously hope that most end users are computer newbies and wouldn't notice. And no, I didn't ask for all my personal details, creditcard numbers etc (and printer usage, copies of Jpegs etc) to be posted to Kodak for 'statistical analysys only'.
Funnily enough, never had a problem with my Lexmark inkjet !!!
