| I use to have it back when I had dial up. It's suppose to tweak your internet speed. After I heard about spyware and downloaded Ad-aware, marketscore came up as a spyware.
Woah, symantec is with them. Marketscore site. | |

| If it's backed by Symantec I highly doubt it contains any Spyware at all, since Symantec is one of the companies who help protect against Spyware.
It's another Download accelorator, there's plenty out there, although I don't know how well it works.

| It's a proxy address it's ****ing spyware. Now you wont be able to switch it. Tools Internet option control pannel. I used that before back in the day and wondered why my ****ing cookies went being stored and why I had some one elses usercp. It was because they were on market score we lived pretty close and had the same ISP. Market score is just a proxy from my understanding that you can't get rid of easily (thus spyware) and it probably monitors you. If on 56k you may speed up a little but not 200%. | |

Instead of contacting your ISP which wont usually have a close server for dialup (only for dsl), the program will force your website requests through the proxy and then that proxy will get the info faster than you and send it back to your machine. Its results will depend on how many proxies are in your area and how close they are to other websites.
But beware, you never know what kind of information they could be gathering from you on those proxies, like passwords / cc numbers ect... | |
