Has anyone installed and used SideStep (http://www.sidestep.com)? It's apparently a program that will search "over 140 web sites" for the best prices on hotel and flights.

I'm a bit leary that I have to install it on my computer. Does anyone know if there's spyware and crap on it?

Thanks!

and this with a quote to follow:

"Based on my experiment, it seems the best way to use SideStep is as a screener. It can help you make a reasonable guess at which airline will be cheapest. Then you should go to that airline's own site and see if they'll sell you a ticket at an even lower price"
