spyware? Adaware, spybot, and cw shredder are all good, and there are a few others.

Gonzo, this is an easy poll. Any program installed without permission, and program that changes anything on my system, adds favorties, changes the home page, whatever, is a tresspass onto my computer and shoudl be treated exactly like a virus. There is no proof that these spyware things won't suddenly go trojan and start a DOS attack on someone.

It's a marketter's dream, being able to FORCE consumers to do what you want them to.

PS: speaking of viruses, watch out for "bagel"... I am starting to get service calls to kill it.
