no, sorry kiddie. you won't find any spyware. A good liar (which you are by the replies from the trolls here) mixes truth with lies to confuse ther stupid (as exampled by said trolls)
adware is not illegal, won't be illegal, and is used by hundreds of ad companies. In exchange for free software, the user agrees to view ads in lieu of payment. We show an ad, a surfer either agrees to download the software or he doesn't.
49thparallel would have you believe that spyware and adware are the same even after the ftc told him they aren't and to stop calling them about it.


true.
Adware/spyware ... whatever. There is a legitimate market, but do you honestly think most surfers AGREE to view constant ads on their computer in exchange for the free software? You must be delusional,

Almost every webmaster i've met promoting adware/spyware is always looking for a new way to auto install or a way to fuck over the surfer.

Invading people's PC's with adware or spyware is immoral, and it gives a bad name to the entire industry.
