Remote Spying? Does this need "removal"?
I donwloaded Gem for Onenote. "OneNote Gem"
at http://www.onenotegem.com/onenote-gem---favorites.html
and I had a problem with an element called "Keyword Tags."
[as you apply keywords into OneNote this add-in places them in a pop-up window].
See: http://www.onenotegem.com/onenote-gem---keyword-tags.html
The problem is that I hit the button and when the window popped open I could not see any items listed. It had worked when installed, but now it wasn't].
THE POINT: On the support page you can IM the creator. I did. "James" asked me to send him a screen shot, I did. He wanted the page with the "keyword," so he could see if I did it properly [ it requires this: {"the keyword"} ... and a screen shot of the blank pop-up window. I sent that using Snagit 11. He sent me back an email [see attached file]. The first image is the one that I sent him - a keyword in braces and a blank pop-up window. THEN I SAW, attached to his email, several screen shots I DID NOT SEND! And in these I could read the keywords that were not visible in my screen shot that I sent to him! WORSE -- what was written in english on my screenshot, in the background, which was not relevant to him, had been translated into chinese [I think].
Please help... what is this? Do I have to notify anyone? Who would I notify? Panda Cloud Cleaner showed no vulnerabilities, no virus, or trojans.

Seems kind of fishy to me. Considering where there from and what reputation China has on the malware market I would definitely suspect some misuse of information and possible illegal remote access. I would ditch the software. Usually if the user has not been verified to be a legitimate seller and developer its would be recommended to cut your loses and file a report with the FCC or someone like Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit.

Wow! I want you to see the attachment so I can inform MS Digital crimes more accurately. But this is not right. Not right. I sent him a screen shot without "tags" and he sends back screen shots with "tags" visible TO HIM.
So do I wipe wipe the drive and use another 1 TB WD HD I have spare? I use Acronis back up and I have a good copy from before I installed the program 9 days ago!
They use OneNote? If it's true, I would think MS was all over this.. or will be.
Thanks
