Hi Justone,
"I don't want to have software in my computer that will quietly communicate with another site without my knowledge"
Uh... You ARE Using a Windows Operating System, Aren't You?!?
Don't Expect Privacy when You Visit Websites, either...
There Really IS No Such thing as 'Privacy' online...
Or Offline, too... Especially if You use any Microshaft (uh, Microsoft) Products...Hope This Helps...
