Re: Installing 3rd Party Software using QSECOFR??

A program that requires to be installed by QSECOFR can install a "Back Door" that enables an user to do anything QSECOFR can do in the computer. Using QSECOFR to install a package is risky, you should only do it if you realy trust the provider of the software.
A reason to requiere QSECOFR may be to install a "disabling feature" that you can not defeat. This shows very little trust.

I am currently evaluating two software packages. One requires it be installed by QSECOFR, the other only requires user class *PGMR. I have taken points off from the package requiring QSECOFR. When asked why, my response involved "having heard somewhere" it was an undesirable condition. 

If I could get a little feedback, either way, I'd be most thankful.
