Verizon is hiding noptify.exe on its welcome to Verizon cdrom. The cd is an instruction manual for the phone you get and some other usless information. When you put the cd in the drive and open menu it loads, you can click exit but it has already loaded. Noptify accesses the internet everytime you log on. I assume it is going out to Verizon. I have been talking to Verizon about this and they said they have discontinued this practice yet I received that cd a week ago. There are other inconsistencies in their story.

Looks like VZW is using a service to track the usage of their CD's. From what I can find on the web, noptify.exe was created by james tower company. Their site says they can track: - Number of time cd was used - Sections that were of the most interest - Frequency of a single cd viewed - hyperlinks visited from the cd - e-mails and visits to your site from the cd.
