nope,
there is no scan engine in there yet.
their ranker just does a very basic
"most active" type of market scans.
that's one of the major things that they
need to work on. if they could do at
least something like what "Insight" does
that would be great, ie. a radar screen
capable of doing intraday scans on the
entire universe. i think they are
working on it.
as far as protecting your systems,
that's a good question that i have not
looked into yet. but if you want
full protection, do a dll on it. i would
capture outgoing packets and inspect them
to see if there is anything suspicious there.
i doubt they would go as far as stealing
your system from your hard drive, possible
but not probable. all system files are stored
on your hard drive and not their server...
