verizon phone cd = spyware [noptify.exe]

verizon phone cd = spyware [noptify.exe]:

out of curiosity [and for lack of better judgment]....i popped the cd that came with my new verizon motorola t730 phone into my cd-rom.
[i was looking for an answer to a technical question]
the cd was a waste of time...full of marketing extras...no answers.

as soon as i removed the cd...i got a firewall alert.
it was noptify.exe trying to access the internet.
it was attempting to access 'tracker.zgate.com'

i verified on google that many others have had similar reports after using the verizon cd.
just wanted to pass it along to yall.
