Comet Cursor is known to send information, without the users knowledge,
back to the comet cursors internet site. The context of what is being
sent is not known yet. The types of things that this software can track
includes what websites you visit and for how long. The biggest problem
is that some spyware can cause computer problems and slowdowns.
Be cautious, keep informed.
