Wired reports that Netscape has agreed to pay $100,000 as part of a settlement of complaints to The New York Attorney General's office. Netscape was accused of collection and retention of information that identified files downloaded by users, which contradicted its statement to consumers that none of the information was saved.



Wired: The settlement comes after a two-year probe, begun in 2002, "The version of software that was reviewed has not been distributed since the fall of 2000 to consumers, and did not adversely impact users," an AOL spokesman said in a statement about the Netscape settlement.
