Is digsby.com Safe?

I used to promote Digsby however that changed the moment they added the adware installed freeze. They made it worse by now taking resources from your PC to do what they want with it. It means they have access to your PC. This comes ENABLED meaning if you don't want them to take resources you have to disable it.

Ok, let me clear this up.. Digsby uses your computer for some research, and it's set to do that automatically. You can VERY simply disable this by opening the program, going into "Tools" > "Preferences" > Section "Support Digsby" > At the row "Help Digsby conduct research" > Click the DISABLE button at the right. I installed it and I don't see anything wrong. It runs one process on your computer, called "digsby-app.exe" which usually only takes around 8K Memory for me, which is NOTHING. And by default the "spell check" feature in Digsby is enabled and will run "aspell.exe" on your system which takes about 5K memory, which is nothing. You can disable the spell check (it auto-disables the aspell.exe process too) by going into "Tools" > "Preferences" > "Conversations" > UNCHECK the "Enable spell checking in" box. Done. Though I saw that they used some kind of Download manager on their OWN Site, so I'd RECOMMEND using ***** which ONLY have SAFE downloads. At the end of the setup of Digsby it asks you something like.. "Help Digsby free and ad-free" And it asks you to choose google-something as your search engine and stuff like that, UNCHECK those boxes too and you're good to go. Digsby from ***** is safe by following my steps. I've written this all by myself and I do not get paid or shit like that for saying it. It's the truth, and if you don't know how a PC works, don't rate the PROGRAM as virus, spyware or something like that.

Digsby is a great startup company that is very interested in the privacy and security of their customers. The software is clearly described in the installer and is part of their revenue so that they can keep digsby ad free to those who use it. If you don't want the software installed on your computer, simply click "decline" when you install it. They're not deceiving you, don't give them a bad rating.

Digsby is a good product. All these people complaining about Spam, spyware, adware, etc. start learn how to read and install products. Digsby is freeware and supports itself by all these optional offers. Is it to hard work for all these complainers to un-check installations they do not want to have installed? These kind of people should be rated poor and not the product.
