Good Old Sears Spyware

Sears, in prior times known as "Sears, Roebuck & Co." was always a place where you got value for your dollar. Craftsman brand tools were known for their quality and came with a lifetime guarantee. Clothing, hardware, auto parts, furniture, you could get it all at Sears.

Now Sears is continueing their tradition of giving consumers more for their dollar.

Online customers who sign up for "My SHC Community" are also given a nifty little program called "VoiceFive". What's VoiceFive do? Read it from the privacy agreement Sears makes customers agree to before installing the software"

"Once you install our application, it monitors all of the Internet behavior that occurs on the computer on which you install the application, including both your normal web browsing and the activity that you undertake during secure sessions, such as filling a shopping basket, completing an application form or checking your online accounts, which may include personal financial or health information."

Nice guys,huh?
