I'm giving up on this discussion. I did a quick search for the phrase "is spyware a virus" and by some people's definition it's not: "By definition no. A virus is intended to harm a computer or network. Spyware is intended to track for advertising purposes."
And I know what cyberxxx is trying to say about the whole "replication" thing as spyware doesn't replicate itself from one computer to another.
Fuck all that nonesense.
It enters a system, unknowingly and unwillingly and by every account "
infects" that system. Whatever someone wants to call it, it's a pain in the ass.
