Glad to see a fix has been posted to curb the
registration problems, still crashing but I suppose
that is to be expected when you realize what this
Li'app is being asked to do.

Have a folder or two of webloc icons maxed up to
128x is a great way to browse those often hurried,
spontaneously grabbed collection of urls that litter our
'puters. It called home (got snitched) twice when testing
it - which had me thinking spyware style activity but I don't
have any proof that is going on and some urls Webseecon
might be iconizing may require it.

It is a little slow and balks at some URLs a few more times
than I would have liked but all in all an ingenious and unique
app. Apple should take note and offer it as an option in
safari's preferences - just like it should include url path info
on downloaded files 'getinfo' comments box.

Infectious when tried. - Astoundit Software, LLC

(From Developer)
We're glad you like the software. I just wanted to respond and let you know that there is absolutely no spyware or anything of the sort in this program. When creating the icons for your Internet shortcuts, Webseecon must load in the website to create the customized icon - this is why you're seeing this message (Most likely from the "Little Snitch" program?).

Webseecon is not connecting or sending any information to us, it's only contacting the website of the Internet shortcut you asked it to load. Sorry for the confusion, and please rest assured that there is no spyware or any other type of attempt at anything of the sort happening.
