Is MSN Homepage Plus safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

MSN Homepage Plus is medium risk. Each time you install, update, or activate a browser tab, MSN Homepage Plus sends a GET request to Microsoft's Customer Experience Improvement Program server (g.ceipmsn.com). The request includes a persistent machine UUID generated on first run and stored locally, your browser's OS string and version, the extension's identity, and — if you have ever visited Bing — the MUID tracking cookie Microsoft set on your browser. The transmission occurs over unencrypted HTTP, exposing it to network observers. Dynamic analysis captured three such requests during a single session.
