So what's the big deal?

First of all its not only Gator...
I know how much spytools exists...
Do you really want to compare cookies and spytools???
Cookies don´t download exe code, they don´t connect to the internet without permission...
Do you will tell us now if somebody kills a man its ok for me that I kill one too?
John it seems you know that spytools aren´t "good" that is the reason why you don´t install them but many newbies don´t know what is going on... they believe internet is funny and all people are lovely... but the truth is internet is a risk today, so we have to inform newbies about the risks... and than every user can decide what they want... but without this knowledge they are helpless...
So tell me John where is your problem? If you don´t care about these tools don´t read our posts, don´t comment them...
If spytools are such a good thing why "you" don´t install them?
