    Perhaps the Crown holds your answer.

    Which independent body has actually checked
    the software in the manner I suggested earlier? i.e. Downloaded the
    software onto a known clean computer and then forensically examined said
    machine.

    It seems adequate to me, and additionally there are people out there
    who tear apart security related programs just to see what weaknesses
    there are in them - "Little Willy" and Tegam comes to mind.

    It is not at all likely that malicious activity will go unnoticed.

    A trap door is more likely, but even that is not that likely.

    No amount of logical explanation is likely to dislodge his 'hinky'. BD
    and logic are anathema to one another.

    Forget *likely* - the question is "is it *possible*"

    Has anybody actually /checked/?

    Nope. As I said, 3rd party peer review keeps things like that on the
    movie screen.

    That answer is more than sufficient. It answers the question, 100% on
    point with no slime nor innuendo.

    Your question has been asked, and answered twice. I checked it before I
    worked for them; so I was independent then, AV companies check it every
    single time somebody sends the executable in.

    I've done so, I already told you it's clean.

    Yes, I have. Morgan lacks the required skills to check, hence is
    questions related to spectorsoft. [g]

    Of course it is, but not for long. Especially if it is doing something.

    > Has anybody actually /checked/?


    Yes, I'm sure somebody has.
