I am happy You wrote this, because this finally proves Microsoft never learns and never adapts to the need of security and privacy. This 'add-on' does not only consult a Certificate Revocation List server, to reject a license, it has the possibility to send to microsoft an index of all stored files. So every attempt to call home from any program is a violation of privacy, if this is not explicit allowed by the user. This time for violating the integrity and privacy of personal information stored on a computer.Ī user should have always control to what he sends out to the internet. I think it's time the community initiates another case before court against Microsoft.
I disable this behavior at firewall I'm certainly not willing to accept that its data is merely "service quality improvement" related unless that's been proved. ^^^ Yep, despite disabling the "phone home" options above and other MS phone hope options with xp-AntiSpy, etc, SearchFilter continues to try to talk to MicroSoft servers.
