DXO Malware addition?

[jeremy_wakefield]

<p>I have recently read the if you install DXO Optics Pro on your computer it installs an anti-piracy piece of software too. Apparently there is a chance ( though a small one ) that this can cause issues with some programs. Also this software can't be removed apparently, even if you uninstall DXO<br /> <br /> According to what I read, even a trial version does this. <br /> <br /> Does anyone know if this is true and if it is, can it really not be removed? I am using Mac OSX 10.7</p>

<p>Can you provide a reference to this information?</p>

<p>The old <a href="http://www.8x10gallery.com/Wordpress/index.php/2007/02/07/dxo-and-pace-anti-piracy-scandal/">Pace Anti Piracy software "scandal"</a>..? </p>

<p>DxO dropped that by release 6 as far as I'm aware, and release 8 of Optics Pro came out recently.</p>

<p>Ah. My information is out of date. BUT as I have DXO Pro 5 on my computer ( I actually transferred it along with everything else when I bought a new one - doh! ) I might have it.</p>

<p>You might, William - but in truth, the "issue" was blown out of all proportion, and the actual risk of harm from Pace Interlok is vanishingly small, unless you're <em>extremely</em> unlucky.</p>

<p>Thanks, Keith. Good to know they took it out after 6 though</p>
