Hi ,

Just a note/question about the ipod and the s/w it installs.
After installing an ipod in my winxp machine i realised it added 2 services , ituneshelper and ipod service.
It also created a log file (reglog.txt) , which looks something like this ;

Thats quite a log file huh ? Security risk ? It does seem to be quite the info harvester.

I do have one question , whats with the "Kanji" entry ?? I have seen this on more than 1 machine.
Anyone ??
