Hi,
I wonder if metaquotes collects ANY data from my machine while updating MT4 (data which is not related to the MT4 installation).
I saw the little comment in the LiveUpdate-window which makes me curious.
"LiveUpdate does not collect any form of personally identifiable information from your computer"
So, the question arises, what does it collect??
I also wonder why metaquotes releases 2 updates after such a long time, just to include this few, seemingly minor, fixes:
http://forum.mql4.com/36456
"New Version of MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal Build 228
Fixed errors in the operation of the internal mail system.
Fixed crashes of MQL4 programs caused by the use of hacking protection.
Added translation of the interface of the client terminal into Swedish.
Fixed errors reported in crash logs."
"New Version of the MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal build 229
Fixed errors in the operation of the internal mailing system.
In the Help menu of MetaEditor added a link to MQL5.com."

. If you're using live account, your money should be safe as you can only transfer money back to from the account you used to fund it, unless your actual broker does a runner with the money
Then again, collecting info can be done from any installed / running program, from Windows itself to some small time software....
