Hello:
I recently downloaded a trial software program . I downloaded it off a p2p so I could try out the program before fully deciding to purchase it. I installed the program and am running my trial now (I got 30 days - well 29 now to be exact). However, I'm wondering....You know how when you start a program, the box comes up with the program name, and credits. Well, before that box comes up, I get a box that comes up and stays up for, roughly 3 seconds, then it disappears. In that box is a graphic of a skull & crossbones with some graffiti-esque writing. As soon as that box disappears, the software programs box comes up with the name of the program, credits, etc. & then the program runs like normal. However, that little box before the program name is making me nervous. Does that mean that perhaps a hacker or spammer placed the trial software for download, simply to break into peoples computers, or even worst - spy on what that person is doing within the software program itself while the person is doing work in the program? Or worst? Or do I simply have nothing to worry about and that that little box is simply that persons tag or claim that that program is theirs or something like that. I've heard & read about a lot of cases where spammers and hackers cleverly got into peoples computers so I need to know. Thank you & have a good day
