Again and again we find companies with their eyes over our shoulders and picking through our wallets.
The current business model is no longer quality products to earn your money but, trickery and deceit as they ramrod restrictive consumer laws while business regulations are chopped out with great vigor.

Thank you so much for informing us about your research findings. Evidently Sears/Kmart has developed a great marketing strategy tool. However, it is at the unfortunate expense of their customers' security. Not good. I intend to inform everyone in my sphere of influence and encourage other mavens to do the same. Again... thank you! - GFB3

Makes you wonder if you ever want to do business with these companies again. I scanned all three blog entries which was enough to see that the score is 2 to 1 against SHC. 10 pages deep into a disclosure...come on! That is not CLEAR. Most people including myself will only scan license agreements for key terms. And a document over 2 or 3 pages is rediculous. I probably would abandon installation after that point.

Anyone remember the ROOTKIT that Sony tried to get us with a few years ago. Sounds like a class-action lawsuit waiting to happen!
Only Baloney,
(and I do not buy sony products anymore!)
And What a Way to lose the publics business!
And to think Sears was already hurting financially>to think that this will help?
IDIOTS!
