joeware call home?

Just received this email which is the first of its kind that I have seen but wanted to give a global response in case anyone else has a question about it…

Subject: What is causing the traffic?

Joe,

You tools are excellent!  I especially like the ‘OldCMP’ utility and your ‘staff’.  I have one question/concern….  I occasionally see a lot of traffic going through our content filter from joeware.net to my computer under my login.  What is causing those hits/ traffic?  This is happening even when none of your programs are in use.

Thank you,

Steve

My response was that I don’t know what it is, the joeware utilities DO NOT CALL HOME. Never have, I can’t say they never will but I will tell you very clearly if they start on the download page for the tool and likely in the blog as well where I will also explain why. I wouldn’t do that without some very seriously good reasons behind it.
