A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging comScore Inc. collected information from consumers’ computers through its data collection software without getting their consent. If you had comScore’s software downloaded and installed on your computer at any time since 2005, you could be eligible for benefits from the comScore class action settlement.
The privacy class action lawsuit alleged comScore used certain versions of its data collection software (called RelevantKnowledge or PremierOpinion) to unlawfully collect information from consumers’ computers. If you downloaded and installed RelevantKnowledge or PremierOpinion, you most likely did so through one of comScore’s bundling partners. Bundling partners are individuals or companies who distribute their own software for free over the internet. Through an agreement with comScore, these entities have “bundled” comScore’s data collection software with their downloadable software, and you may have been asked to install comScore’s software.
ComScore has agreed to pay $14 million into a class action settlement fund, which will be distributed on a pro rata basis to Class Members who submit valid and timely Claim Forms. Under the terms of the privacy class action settlement, comScore has also agreed to take certain steps to modify its disclosures and the process for obtaining consent for the download and installation of its data collection software.
ComScore denies the allegations but has agreed to settle the privacy class action lawsuit to avoid burdensome and costly litigation.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the comScore class action settlement include all individuals and entities in the United States and its territories who had comScore’s data collection software downloaded and installed on their computers via a bundling partner, and used their computer in interstate commerce and/or communication.
Potential Award
Up to $11,000, depending on how many Class Members submit valid claims for the comScore class action settlement. The payment will be an equal share of the amount available in the Settlement Fund. It is estimated that, based on the expected rate of claims, each Class Member who submits a valid Claim Form will receive approximately $200.
Proof of Purchase
N/A. Class Members must provide information under the penalty of perjury about why they believe they are eligible for benefits from the comScore class action settlement. Class Members must also be able to provide the email address they used when comScore’s software was installed on their computer.

Thank you, Kelrok. I was wondering, I am very impatient :P Guess I’m going to have to learn eventually, huh?
HOW WILL THEY DETERMINE WHETHER YOU HAD COMSCORE DOWN-LOADED OR NOT ON YOUR LAB-TOP.I DOWN LOADED THAT SOFT WEAR,2005 HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME.I BELIEVE EVERYONE THAT F
ILED TIMELY CLAIM IS APPROVED. PEOPLE HAVE MORE THAN ONE EMAIL.WHAT DO YOU THINK? P.S. THE ONLY THING IT DID WAS PUT LOTS OF VIRUSES ON MY LAB-TOP
So, when do the one’s that filed a claim get paid?
I ALSO DOWN LOADED COM SCORE TO MY COMPUTER IT MESS MY COMPUTER UP TO. HAD TO BUY A NEW ONE. YUP I FILED A CLAIM.
I found out about this because I got an email directly from the claim site saying that i was one of the people who downloaded the software.So because i got an email from them that means that I’ll receive the $500-$700 (as mentioned on another documents site) check for sure right?
i don’t know if i down loaded the com.score’s or not, all i do know is that i download a screen saver and the next day my computer quit working altogether. i don’t have the money to get it fix or even look at. so can you let me know what i should do about it. please
i remember the premieropinion software on my computer but i don’t remember exactly which email address i was using at the time i have 10 different email addresses should i file a separate claim under each one or just one. I know i had this software.
here you go roxanne

It’s not possible to reach a live person using that number. And there is no email on the website.
How can I change my address? There is no email for administrator, nor a way to get through over the phone……
if you didnt get a card in the mail or if your email address dosnt match what they have you will get jack squat
We download so much stuff on our computer, we always get spyware, all kind of viruses, first of the year, had a popup to down load some kind of spywares and it took control of the computer. we took it to the Geek Squad Couldn’t save anything, lose everything, brought a new computer, I might try for this one.
mary, geek squad has a bad habit of telling you the only way to fix a computer is to wipe it and re install the OS, i guarantee you your data could have been saved…. this is what i do for a living is Computer repair don’t take a computer to them find a small computer shop in your area usually you get the best service that way.
