The Netconnect package for Amiga is fairly dubious too. It logs times, URLs and odd files in RAM:ENV/...

It checks your file versions on startup and sends data to a remote server on exit (usually the stuff by Oliver Wagner).

Since Active Technologies went bust (their website fee wasn't paid and they vanished) I have felt a little uneasy about using this to connect to the web.

And who is verifying the Amiga web software for backdoors? AmiTCP is based on code from the Berkley University isn't it? Some ancient linux code hastily ported to Amiga?
