It doesn't mention the indexing program (which goes through your
entire HDD). It attempts to contact Microsoft for who knows what
purpose.. And they've screwed around with Explorer search so you
practically need to use it.



All indexing functions are very easy to turn off, and mine didn't try to
contact Microsoft.
