    I don't really know much about this but whoever started spreading them should be buried alive. Judging from itsengineering I'll have to say M*croshit!!!

    I know some programmer's software can only be supported by incorporating spyware along with the program. Butisn't there any other way?

    Tell me what you think!!!! Burn spyware!!!! Die Adware!!! Go to hell Mailware!!! Damn you M*croshit and your damnActiveX control!!!

      From a Firefox's member's standpoint:

      Bill Gates = Microsoft
      Microsoft = IE
      IE = Spyware
      Spyware = Useless
      Useless = Bill Gates O_o

      The cycle never ends. lol - Just kidding.
      I voted that they shoulld burn its creators. Useless spyware is not something I ever want lurking in my PC or any sitefor the matter. It's terrible, I tell ya!

          If it wasn't for every idiot who thinks creating spyware/adware/malware is clever, funny, productive, or otherwisepositive, the internet would be a fairly safe environment (in terms of the OS and pc, pedophiles and such are anotherissue entirely). Of course,Microsoft could help by... Y'know, creating something that works the first time around,maybe?

            If spyware creators earned a penny for every computer they crashed, they would be rich. Just like what Bill Gates did.

            How many M*croshit programmer does it take to screw in a lghtbulb?

              Well you're kinda on the right track. It's all about money. They aren't out to annoy you, that'sjust the end result. Pop-ups, spyware, banner ads, and Google text-ads are all about money. Even if you don't buythe product by clicking on the ad, it's the impression it makes on you. Here's an easy example that mostpeople should know...

              I want to buy a little webcam to spy on somebody. What's the first thing that comes into your mind when you readthat? For me, it's X10. I would never buy anything from them in a million years, but the point is it's thefirst thing I thought of, and it's all thanks to the ads they plaster all over the internet and pop-ups, etc. That's the goal of the whole insane, annoying business.

                That's pretty much how it works and how they want it TO work, but they are just going to far by installing crap inyour PC that your not even aware of. One example of this is when you're not even surfing the net and you'rejust waiting for a download to finish, after a while you see all sorts of shortcut icons popping out of your desktop.The usual reaction is to delete them, but this just triggers other events to happen, and before you know it, you'vejust formatted your hard drive.

                I've read somewhere that there's a lawyer somewhere that filed a motion to ban spyware. I think he wants thecreators, sponsors, and all related parties to get arrested or something because they are violating the law, likeVandalism, Invasion of Privacy, Destruction of Properties, etc... I'm still looking for the details, I'll fillyou all in on this when I do. The first one they should arrest is Bill Gates because he started this whole ActiveXbullshit that allowed programmers/designers to allow some actions to be executed through HTML or whatever.

                Anyone here remeber the guy that crashed M*croshit's website and got busted and was fined $500,000 and was latersentenced 200+ hours of community service. That guy should be a hero for trying to stop the E-Bill Gates himself and hispath of digital destruction.

                      That's like asking "who likes terrorists?". Of course no one likes spyware (unless they themselves areprofiting from it).

                        Spyware is like an itch that you just can't scratch.

                        "How many M*croshit programmers does it take to remove spyware?

                        None. They've declared spyware as a standard."

                        Well, f**k that thought along with M*croshit.

                                    That's because spyware gets blown away by your arrogance before it can even latch itself onto your PC.
