Be careful!  I run a firewall and while connected to the Internet, Comet
Cursor will initiate connections to outside sites.  I wish I'd made a note
of where it connected before I purged it from my system.  It may not be
dangerous, and it may not be spyware, but it is definitely what I'd call
"rudeware," therefore beware.
