After reading the information Larry Davick posted in the other thread, I became concerned, but not too concerned about the MagicJack hidden software and what it might do in your computer. But then, last night I had a MAJOR crash of my Apple Mac Book Pro and that has never happened in the past several years I had the machine.
About the only thing I have put on the machine recently is whatever program automatically sets up the MagicJack. I don't know for sure that it caused the problems I experienced, but now I am very suspicious.
I am taking steps to remove that program (which is difficult as it is hidden, and there is no uninstall program for it).
I am sorry I got this thing, and am even more sorry to have posted the initial information. I am taking the MagicJack back and have this recommendation:
SHOUTING: DO NOT BUY OR INSTALL A MAGICJACK ON YOUR COMPUTER.
