nellie2 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Javacool... developer of programs like SpywareBlaster, SpywareGuard, MRU Blaster and others has come up with another brilliant program!License agreements - a pain? End user license agreements (EULAs) are the bane of most computer users.No one wants to read through pages and pages of boring text before installing a program. And many programs put their license agreements in small windows that require lots of scrolling. So many people either skim them or skip reading them altogether.But it can be dangerous not to read license agreements.License agreements can provide information about the intentions of software, and other bundled components. Have you ever installed a program, only to have your desktop taken over by advertising? It may have been noted in the license agreement that you simply clicked past. If you aren't reading the license agreements, you have no idea what you could be agreeing to. You should always read license agreements before agreeing to them.But now there's a way of making that much easier.EULAlyzer - Making it all easyEULAlyzer can analyze license agreements in seconds, and provide a detailed listing of potentially interesting words and phrases. Discover if the software you're about to install displays pop-up ads, transmits personally identifiable information, uses unique identifiers to track you, or much much more. The Benefits Discover potentially hidden behavior about the software you're going to install Pick up on things you missed when reading license agreements Keep a saved database of the license agreements you view Instant results - super-fast analysis in just a second And with additional features like the EULA Research Center, which optionally allows users to anonymously submit license agreements they scan to help us to further improve the program, everyone can be a part of the effort to make something that used to be so tedious, so easy. When installing software, never just click past the license agreement. Pop it into EULAlyzer, and EULAlyze it!Info and download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Probably just one of those things, but having uninstalled it I was not going to try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 I installed it and tried to get it to read its own EULA. It came up with an error message. Like andsome, I've now removed it. I will carry on as before and read the EULA. Yes, I know I'm probably the only person in the world that does this but I want to know what I'm letting into my machines.

Scarecrow Man Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Just used it on Boson Subnet Calculator. I got several "third party" flags, all of which were safe. They were simply exempting themselves from any third party damage.So far no errors....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 This program is amazing, and has been updated.EULAlyzer is now verison 1.1 and I recomend EVERYONE download and use it to scan EULA's for programs they use. You can even go to a program you already have installed and read the licence agreement. Most of them will have it in the help, or about section.Download and more info available from Javacool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
