i'm not casting a vote but i would like to state a my opinion about Spyware!!!

lets rename that term

TROJAN


let quite fooling ourselfs spyware is a invasion of our privacy!!!
it is software(VIRUS) that is bundled up in programs like this one to record and react to your surfing habbits!!! now let me put it in lamans terms
you and your partner just bought a house..from some Big developer......but without you knowing before you move in they install little cameras' all over the house (big privacy invasion right??)would you like that? you would be mighty ****ED OFF!!,
you might even take legal action...but you find out that this is legal and why??? so that the developer can learn what you like in a house, were you hang out, where you put you furniture or what ever let you imagination go wild !!!
now this is all hypotheticaly speaking ofcourse......

or is it??

i don't think so

because thats were things like spyware lead!!! (really)
because all it take is someone (like a home devoper) to say hey they can get away with it, and so why can't I?

now think about it
if they can do this now!!! whats it going to be like in ten years?
that thought scares me!!
i hope i made a good point for all of you whom don't understand what spyware is.
and if you want a great program to combat this (virus)it is called adware and you can find it at www.lavasoftusa.com
