 * Agreed – this is not allowed, surely?

 * [@thomthom44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomthom44/) this is used so
   AddThis can sync up with your website. We offer a variety of tools and analytics
   so these scripts are needed to make those tools work properly.

 * No, there is no reason to link up to sync anything with my website.
 * The instructions on the “Home” link of the plugin states clearly that the signup
   is optional so what does it want to sync?

 * Some of the scripts you’re seeing may be from our data partners, as the AddThis
   tools may collect data for the purposes of interest-based advertising. For more

 * May I say i don’t like your partners? I’m stopping all websites im using addthis
   with. This is not acceptable. This Virus tracks u without asking. As i’ve looked
   into this today it pretty mutch suck up all my info non stop.

 * Hi [@thomthom44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomthom44/),
 * I assume that you got your information from this website:
    [http://computerfixguide.com/completely-remove-s7-addthis-com-virus/](http://computerfixguide.com/completely-remove-s7-addthis-com-virus/)
 * With the rise of false information online, I suggest that you reevaluate the 
   credentials and merits of each website you read before believing it as hard facts.
 * While your accusation that we contain some kind of virus is certainly false, 
   we always appreciate your feedback!
 * Thanks,
    Leland
