I think this could get more attention, and better help in Chit-Chat.

If i'm wrong, CC mods feel free to move this back.

Sorry I can't help you, but I'm sure someone else can.

Why wouldn't they be able to see your IP address? You would be testing the beta version of their program. If you were to sign up for a beta or alpha test, I'm sure that "spying" is part of the license agreement.

I was a beta tester for the game Escape Velocity Nova, and every day I would get emails from ambrosia (thats the company) regarding my system that they couldnt have known without monitoring me.......I checked, and sure enough, part of the liscense agreement was that i agreed to let them monitor my system in order to detect any problems that EVN might cause (its been known to do this) so if ur worried, just read the fine print.....
