Attention Anti-Spyware Software Developers and Companies:

Before listing PC Tattletale as a “spyware” program and adding it to the database in your anti-spyware software, please take a moment to read the legal notice below.

The definition of spyware is: Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes.

Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet.

Once installed without the users permission, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else, typically for advertising purposes.

Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. Also called ad ware.

While PC Tattletale is technically is a type of monitoring software, in that it does monitor and record Internet activity, it is NOT a “spyware” program by definition.

Unlike unauthorized spyware programs that are of a nefarious nature, PC Tattletale software is a commercial product that is purchased and installed by parents to the PC's that they own on PURPOSE -- with the express intent of monitoring their child's online activity in order to keep those children safe from Internet predators and pedophiles.

Additionally, unlike other commercially available Internet monitoring or key logger software, PC Tattletale software is marketed to parents for use on their children's PCs -- exclusively.

PC Tattletale is NOT advertised, marketed, promoted or sold for the purpose of monitoring spouses, employees, or any adult over the age of 18. We also state this in our EULA.

By listing PC Tattletale software in your database as "spyware," you are purposefully choosing to risk denying parent’s their legal rights and their responsibility to ensure their children’s safety by being able to surreptitiously monitor (if they so choose) their juvenile children’s online activity and thereby potentially putting those very children at risk.

PC Tattletale is an award-winning Parental software tool, reviewed and recommended by consumer computer publications, media celebrities and parenting organizations throughout the United States.

It even has been certified "Spyware and Ad ware" free by an independent, non-biased third parties like, Softpedia.Com, SoftwArea51.com and others.

Once again to ensure that there is no misunderstanding -- PC Tattletale purchased and installed on purpose by a parents to ensure the safety of children when those children go online.

It is not spyware.

In closing, we understand and respect your desire to provide the most comprehensive anti-spyware to your clients, however we respectfully request that you refrain from categorizing PC Tattletale as spyware, and that you exclude the PC Tattletale software program from your database of "threat" programs.

Sincerely,


President & CEO,
