Hi Jimmy,
I am not sure about the information that Cashgopher sends but what I am sure about is that I have not and am not installing anything like that no matter what it gives in return.
I am, like you - scared of the fact that it can use my personal info and so I stay away from it. Though there have been several discussions here and many have favored its installation, here is how it works - when you open any website or advert, it keeps track of that and pays you. But then I read it on a discussion that it has different rates of payments for its clients based on countries, so better think and check out the details.
Cheers,

I installed Cashgopher last month, but I removed it from my computer the day before yesterday, because I found it has different rates of payments for it clients based on countries and I only get few reward from it.
As far as I know, lots of mylotters do not know how it works, and this soft seems to tend to threat to the safe of my personal information in my computer.

Hi kuaixueshiqing,
There was another organization (local to my country) who was into such a thing and offered gifts to the top 10 users - they are looking for what sites you visit and maintain a statistics of the information collected from their subscribers. Unlike Cash Gopher, they did not have a turn off thing/option and that means it was on the prowl all times unless installed. I fail to understand what such software companies get out of this.
Anyways, I am not for such softwares that are spywares.
Cheers,
theSids.

it's a software yes, it's about making your computer work for you. Just let your computer stay online and you'd earn. I did install it, and I earn, not much but i do earn. My friend who installed it in a lot of computers had his first payout last October 15. And maybe having his second payout this Nov. 15. Try it, it's for free. and so far now, I don't have problems with my PC. I also installed it in my PC at the office. Same working condition, no harm done.

I have install Cash Gopher but have deleted after a month. I realise that it might be a scam afterall. During the "trial" period, there are many times where a pop-under appeared while I was surfing the web. However, none of it was recorded. So I deduce it is a scam and remove it.

Well i heard about it. But the fact that you have install a software on your computer that might have give access on your computer which could steal your passwords and other vital informations makes me uncomfortable. I wouldnt take the risk
