You know what they say. "Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity". I'm a software developer and I've made exactly these kinds of mistakes more than once. DeviceScape doesn't strike me as the sort of company that would intentionally disobey your settings. It seems to me like more of an oversight. Also, "viral" usually means that it spreads itself to other machines. I don't think DeviceScape is doing that. It's just losing preferences. -Dave John Rudd wrote: > I downloaded it, and installed it.
