TRILLAIN is about as good as any you will locate......BUT TRILLAIN WILL SEND INFO "HOME" UNLESS YOU CONFIG IT NOT TO>>>>JUST UN-CHECK THE APPRO BOX PREVENTS THIS BEHAVIOR........simple to do. (look in: PREFERENCES> INSTALLATION & STARTUP

that list is biased at most.. not to say bad.. but biased they mention "winamp" and

 

No matter who suggests a Program and no matter at which website the suggestion is made......ITS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE TO MAKE SURE ITS CLEAN OF SPYWARE....TROJANS, and VIRUSES...........

In an Open Forum such as this one many people offer suggestions on software......both Members and Non-Members alike......along the way a software may become infected at some "Mirror Download Site"......or perhaps the person offering the suggestion did not detect that the software was infected.....not everyone has the Software necessary to detect every type of exploit........an no one should blindly trust any downloaded software......but instead should test it for theirself......as a matter of good surfing practice........its your computer.....its your responsibility.....

There are many good and decent people here at this forum....good people trying to help other people.......an thats to be admired and respected............an certainly mistakes will be made.......it happens....an its up to each individual to always be alert to what they are installing.......
