Almost all softwares even Games that we install have some sort of EULA (End-User-License-Agreement) attached to them. You might be among millions of other computer users who don’t bother to read EULA when ever they come across it. I am also like those who simply click “I Agree” and proceed to next step of installation. But do you know your this act is a constant threat to your privacy and your PC security. Recently hundreds of Facebook users left Facebook because of potential threat to their privacy (New York Times).
EULAs are the most annoying step of any installation, no one wants to read these huge textual information before installing their desired software. But have your PC ever taken by advertisements or got corrupted after installation of any software? Most of the softwares that track users, display unwanted advertisements and do other annoying things often hide these information in license agreements. As you don’t read the license agreements you have no idea what you are agreeing to. EULAlyzer is your solution to this problem. Its a cool product by JAVACOOL SOFTWARE that helps you to instantly identify important parts of any license agreement, privacy policies and other similar documents during installation. Its simple and helps to deal with problems of unwanted advertisements, data collection, tracking, inclusion of external reference agreements and many more that we even don’t know.
EULAlyzer follows simple steps of installation, you just have to follow the installation wizard. EULAlyzer Personal is free but you can upgrade to EULA Professional to enjoy more features. Its simple user interface makes it easy to use.
Scanning any user license agreement is the main and easiest step. There are different ways to go about it. You simply have to proceed for your software installation as you usually do, when you reach the license agreement step simply drag and drop the plus icon ( + ) over the agreement text.
If this does not work, which is the case with some of the softwares, you can simply copy and past the whole license agreement text into the EULAlyzer and click “Analyze” button.
After few seconds results will be displayed according to rating scale of interest, as example shown below.
You can also submit results to EULA research center for improvements. I simply don’t see any reason for not submitting results, if these help to further improve EULAlyzer and also to instruct the software venders.
One thing to keep in mind is that this opportunity is only avalible to all Windows users (Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7). For further information and to download EULAlyzer visit EULAlyzer.
