Our network nerd informed us today of WinNT Magazine reports that Real Player and Real Jukebox both had trojans inserted by the company that would transmit back to the company the user's download activities and other information.

The company has issued patches to remove these devices and a bland statement explaining their motivations. Their latest version of RealPlayer reportedly does not contain the trojan.
