Last year there was quite a discussion about Quicken and the spyware program 'Cdilla' that they employ. Because of that I am not interested in using their product this year. Anyone else feel the same, and if so, what program(s) are worth using?

Any discussion appreciated.

Don't mean to bring up something that's most likely already been covered, but I must admit that I wasn't aware of this spyware. Could someone please enlighten me?

I used TaxCut last year and will likely use it this coming year as well. The don't have spyware or the activation crap that they other big programs do. In fact, it was the issue over activation that pushed me to TaxCut in the first place.

I'm using the Wife 3.0 software. Not always accurate but the ware is always soft, and three weeks a month user friendly.

Turbo Tax, then I efile it. Get the dough back in less than a week.

Whoops! I didn't mean Quicken, I meant TurboTax. That's the one with the spyware.

TurboTax will not have the spyware this time and will be installable on multiple computers again (which is exactly what I want), so I'm staying with it.

If I need any help, I'm using Mother 1.0, as Mom is a retired professor of accounting.

I'm sticking with Turbo Tax so far. Intuit publicly admitted it's error with last year's protection mechanism and has dropped it.
