Yes, you are right about the risk. Roboform is my most important software
security-wise. If some criminal gets my login info I am screwed bigtime.

I am in favor of the death penalty for indentity thieves and other internet
hackers who cause more grief and disruption to more people than murders.

Could what you see in your log be Roboform checking for automatic updates or
something like that? Can you tell from the log whether data is actually
being sent from your computer to/from Siber.com?

Thanks for the tip, I intend to run this down and find out what is going on.

Regards

Bill Wood

question. Here's a chunk of logs from my router:

Some days it talks never or once. Other days, it talks alot. I use it. It
works. But it could be spyware. It could be worse. Remember, we teach it
EXACTLY how to log into our financial accounts. It only has to transmit a
tiny bit of data to pass that info along.

No, I did not know Roboform was talking to its website. How do you see that
happening? If I can confirm that is happening I will call the company and
find out what is happening.

Have you been able to figure out what Roboform is sending in it's
backchannel communications? Watch it, and you'll see that it talks
periodically to roboform.com in a completely encrypted format. Asking them
what it's sending yielded no response. It could be dumping exact login
instructions to your accounts to be used later.

Thanks Bill, I'll give it a try. I've got the toolbar from Google that
stores info but wasn't sure how secure it would be. Discover has a
nice little app that produces a virtual number for purchases but now
my security package thinks it's spyware and I have to disable the real
time spyware checking to be able to use it. It's always something!

Joan,

Try Roboform for storing passwords, login info, card numbers and other info
for use when banking or shopping online. One click and you can login
securely to any site and one more click and the software will fill in long
forms with your name, address, card no etc etc. All of your passwords are
encrypted and super secure and you only have to remember one password to
access everything. One of the best and most truly useful programs I have
ever used.

Moneyside is pathetic by comparison.

Useless no, not for me, it was a great place to stash login info and
card numbers. Probably now considered another security risk. Creepy?
Maybe just as creepy as the thought of so many people keeping their
account info on the MSMoney servers. Now that's what I call creepy.
Thanks.

In answer to your questions.

Gone for good? Probably. You are one of very, very few people to visit the
NG who didn't find the thing somewhere between useless and downright creepy.

Install from M02 CD? Probably not. It wouldn't know anything about an M06
file, even if it were separately installable. The interfaces it called in
Money probably aren't even there anymore.

Hi,
I know some considered this a pain, but today I went to use the
browser plug-in Moneyside and it was gone. I didn't realize that
upgrading to 06 would kill it. It came in handy when online shopping
since I could store card info into it. Anyway to just install
Moneyside from the 2002 disc?
