I think if you read the TOS, you will find that MJ is tracking your habits online with your permission to serve up some advertising somewhere down the road.

Don't know about IE, since I use Firefox, but I can't believe that the actual dongle device saves anything...

what i don't understand is WHY the favorites are even in MJ? It's not like I'm ever going to access them through the softphone!

I am getting the same problem. How will I erase those favorite lists on my softphone Favorites. I dont want them to appear there. Is there any way we can stop those from getting into our softphone??

I need enlightenment...

You could use Firefox, run MJ as another user, run it as a service, run it in a virtual machine, or run it on a thin client.

I discovered that MJ actually uses a modified Internet Explorer browser in its User Interface. Those ads are actually small web pages. kinda sucks, if you ask me. That is why the Favorites are there...because it is using IE.

I'd recommend just switching web browsers. Internet exploder isn't that trust worthy either. Reset IE, then use another web browser. magicJack will be unable to get any accurate 'favorites', since they're all 'bookmarks'.



Best Wishes...
