TurboTax 2002 and Spyware
Crap. TurboTax 2002 includes spyware. I’ve already pre-ordered it, having used it for the past four years. Next year, I’ll wait until January before buying tax software, to see what the product landscape looks like. The issue with the TT2002 activiation key is neither here nor there for me, since I’m not going to load it up on a different computer, anyway.
I’m wondering how to handle this. There’s a report that Intuit had to release an uninstaller, though the C-Dilla software will have to remain in place while taxes are prepared. I’m thinking of using VMware to set up a temporary install of Win98 or something just to do taxes. I have a couple of months to figure out what to do, though, so hopefully there will be more positive developments.
