Is there any adware, spyware, spam or any other nasties?

Absolutely not! The last thing we want to do is add anything like that to our software. We firmly believe that Freshtel Internet Phone is the world’s best softphone and we will not do anything to tarnish that image. In case you don’t know, adware and spyware are programs which are often contained in free software to help cover the developer’s costs of giving away their product for free. These little add-ons allow the spyware / adware distributor to spy on what you are doing and use that information to send you targeted advertising, often using your browser to pop up windows. It’s a really bad thing and most people don’t even know it’s happening. Check out Lavasoft, they offer a little program called AdAware, which checks your computer and can remove adware and spyware just like a virus scanner checks for viruses.
