Yes, YOU do, and so do most of the adult webmasters here. But what about your surfers? Do THEY think to do that?

Quite honestly, the spyware bullshit has gone on long enough. Surfers are getting tired of it, and pissed off that their computers are slowing way the fuck down or shitting altogether because of this crap.

I see this trend in two ways: Being bad for business due to the inevitable crash of the computers of the average joe schmoe, or good for business because spyware is found mostly on sites that aren't big name, i.e., paysites don't usually have them, so the surfer will feel that to be safe from this shit, he'll have to go to the big guys.

So far, I'm seeing it being bad for business. People are starting to connect spyware to porn in general, or warez sites, (but that's kinda expected, I would think: If you're going to a site full of cracks and hacks, expect at least one spyware bug on your computer afterward), and that's not a good thing.
