Are you serious? Adobe is spying on users that are willing to spend $600+ on a freaking CD!?

Yet another reason to have decent anti-virus/spyware/firewall programs on your computer!
Connections to IP/site blocked! :P
Thx. btw. IDK if this is true or not, but better safe than sorry.

--EDIT--
Okay, after reading all the way through, there are 2 solutions if you do not wish this service.
1) Go to 2o7.net, and select to opt-out of the Bonjour service...
2)Delete the Bonjour .exe program. (May or may not work for good.)

Also, please note that Adobe is not the only company using this. Apparently, so does Apple Inc., meaning more probably do as well. And that IP that is shown, isn't an IP btw.... obiously, since there is not only a letter, but if followed by .net. :lol:
Just go to 2o7.net and see for yourself. :wink:

@carcrazy: it's not Apple, it's Microsoft

Microsoft is spying on you if you get Vista, our friend said that Microsoft know everything and I mean EVERYTHING that you are doing because they track you and there is nothing you can do about it, our friend lives in New Zealand and he said that if you have a microsoft OS they won't help them if that person uses microsoft because they don't support it there and the only thing you can get are mac's OS
Which is really stupid that microsoft does that

And for those of you that don't know that, well now you do, so don't be doing anything bad to microsoft

I think that it would be interesting to know if this "spyware" came with the standard installation or if it was after an update :?
