Yes, it was a bit cautionary, but it was also frustrating because they did not share any details with me. It might very well have been Angler, or it could have been something like AllMyNotes just “phoning home” to offer me post-trial options. And, while I have not had the time to look up additional information about Angler to see if typical AV/malware/firewall software will detect and prevent it on a PC at home, I could just as easily have conducted that search at home. More frustrating is that I am now very gun shy about using any portable/no-install apps at work, especially if they “phone home” abroad, legitimate or otherwise.
