Anyone who is using Audio Galaxy file trading software should be careful - it includes spyware from a mysterious company called VX2, which not only tracks amd reports surfing information, but could even collect credit card numbers and passwords.
The software collects "some information from online forms that you fill out," according to VX2's privacy policy. VX2 promises that "if such data were...inadvertently collected, VX2 would immediately purge such information from its database."
But experts are suspicious because almost no information about VX2 is available. "I am not sure what to believe because the company refuses to identify itself, and the e-mail address given in the privacy policy does not appear to be valid," one says.
