Zipingo

I just noticed this as well - looks very suspicious.

I sent feedback to them.

Told them to tell me how to rid my computer of it or I will file complaints with the FL Attorney Generals Office and the FTC.

This is pure BS.

I been tell my computer to ignor the auto update, but it updated itslef without me telling to. I wonder what else was installed?

I'll be watching my sniffer to see what else is going out.

Now I am looking for alternatives to Quicken.

I tried to disable it in Quicken Pref., but no good.

I blocked it at my firewall and in my hostfile.

I just noticed an inbound connection from 12.149.161.99 which is zipingo.net on port 80.

Can you say spyware.

Right. And what do you think the FL Attorney General's Office will do after they get back up from the floor laughing their asses off?

The only thing that is pure BS is your paragraph above.

Wonderful English there bud! Are you sure that the Attorney General will be able to understand whatever complaint you'd mange to file?

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out...

I'd be surprised that you could manage that...

Can you say paranoia? Of what purpose would it be to connect to the users machine on port 80? That's for a web server any 99% of the people out there don't run one. And even if they did, what exactly would zipingo.net hope to capture? A person's web site could be virtually anything. Finally, if somebody wanted to probe your port 80 they would not need Quicken nor a zipingo thingy to do it - they simply would probe it. Stop spreading FUD, especially when it's clear you don't even have a clue. Most likely that was a simple outbound request.

If you can't live with it, I guess you could remove Quicken and reinstall it and don't accept the updates. It appears it came in on the last update. You will be running a brain damaged Quicken though.
