Spyware Characteristics |
| Description: |
|
This
is a browser plug-in for Internet Explorer.
This means that the TopText software
cuddles up in Internet Explorer's process;
from the outside, no-one can tell if
either native Internet Explorer code
or TopText is communicating to the Internet.
After installation of Toptext, network
traffic logs revealed that there was
unusual HTTP traffic between Internet
Explorer and a foreign server, each
time the user navigated between URLs.
The data transmitted is small and cryptic
so we don't know if this is confidential
information or not.
