Uses browser priviledges to covertly access the internet

I bought the Windows version, and have found no bugs at all thusfar.

This must be one of the coolest softsynths released thusfar
Not the easiest machine to create new patches, but that's much of the fun of it.

The fun stopped when I discovered the Windows version appears to write code to \WINDOWS\COOKIES\Index.dat

This indicates it's covertly using browser privileges to do something, either online registration without first getting permission of the user, or something nastier.

Thats NOT cool Arturia:(

That's the sort of behaviour i would expect to see from a trojan rather than a software i just bought.

Most programs ask if you would like to register, and most of us do so we can partake of the benefits of registration,
however software manufacturers must quit using sneaky backdoors.

Keep doing that and some customers will choose to download the pirated version, which will probably have the entire registration module removed. (including whatever part writes to the index.dat)

If you are going to buy this software and wish to avoid being spied on, first go here...

and read about Index.dat issues.

Then download this file and install...

Now disconnect from the internet and install Moog Modular V

Then reboot your computer, index.dat will be wiped clean of the dubious code.

Now you can log back onto the internet and there will be no spying.

If you have the Mac version you are on your own.
