Vyew looks suspiciously like Spyware

Why are these requests automatically going out from my machine, when I am NOT LOGGED IN to vyew?

a new one is generated every second.  Not good.

Hi,

data.vyew.com is where user data is stored, anything you might have uploaded such as images, documents, video. That particular link is to a video file, but it’s already expired so I can’t easily check what it is. I can tell by the URL however that it is a file that you in particular uploaded. If a video is being requested over & over, that’s definitely a bug, there’s no reason I can think of for it to be requested more than once.

Are you saying that even with no browser windows open in vyew.com that file is somehow being requested? I’m not sure how that could even happen, perhaps you have a tab open to Vyew somewhere you didn’t realize? If you could figure out which vyew page or which vyew meeting ID you were in, that would help me to track down the bug.

Thanks
