The article about CueCat that I referenced earlier at: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-2826868.html?tag=st.ne.1002.tgif.ni has links to the information I mentioned about ways to disable the ID features of CueCat. These links may be hard to find among the newsgroups that the article references, so I'm including them here for those who may be interested. I imagine there will be new info on stopping the ID features in a few days, so I DON'T RECOMMEND EITHER OF THESE SUGGESTIONS: Cat Kit 32 on: http://members.aol.com/powercntrl will decode the output of the scanner in any 32-bit windows application and it doesn't invade your privacy. Or, the other option: Disable the serial number. At this site: http://matrixpm.com/~haveblue/cuecat/ are instructions on how to disable the CueCat's serial number.
