1. The check-box which you refer to, is the standard request of all a-v software, to allow the collection fo things like: installation failures, software failures, names of encountered viruses, etc. etc. Stuff that is supposed to "help develop better software"...
It has nothing to do with RadialPoint's stated policy of sharing emails for "targeted notifications", and "marketing and sales purposes".
2. I can understand someone misunderstanding and questioning that point. But was the smart-a$$ comment really necessary?

heh its a software DPI on top of rogers/Bell's DPI.
machine name, unique ID's and all software and versions installed etc etc... they have the right to access your machine, as well as to download, install and/or gather whatever they want and share it with who they want.
...and to top it off, "NO SERVICES INCLUDED". They reserve the right to give you no updates or security protection for their security software. But they will collect anything and everything from you, including modem Mac or other unique ISP assigned ID (such as IP, Mac's etc).
This thing is spyware not a security software. |
