Geez,there's no reaching out and educating some people

Yet still they spread FUD despite being faced with facts to the contrary!

Looks like i'm gonna fill my boots on this 'un

C'mon PG, don't hold back, tell us how you really think.

Great piece. It's a good summary of the recent Sunbelt thread. Helps remind me that I really don't need to spend anymore valuable time reading the hysteria even if it is starting to get entertaining.

PG,
hehe, I've not actually read the pages you referenced yet (will do in a few) but wanted to thankyou for this one.

On a side note, your link to the SW article is invalid (links to http://http//netrn.net/spywarebl...-whenu-status/)

Thanks - and I'll fix the link right away

Right i may get hung for this but here we go ...

anyone remember the company that was going to Give away Pc's and Net connection as long as you Watched 15 mins of Adds every 2 hours or something ??

Because i do ok let the Adware people work on the basis that some people Do indeed want Need or require Their
dodgy Product ..

let them prove this with Facts and data, if it turns out to be true then i will be more than happy to let them go their own way .

or better yet Set up an addnet tv station a few good movies and Tv shows and they should be able to make money after all the Cable companies do .. end of rant

I don't have a problem with Adware or Spyware for that matter (personally, on my system, you'll never find it...but that's another topic). I believe that most of the adware/spyware fight comes from companies using dodgy tactics to get installed and stay installed, programs that slow down systems, and general fradulent practices that companies partake in.

If a company is legit, I could care less about them. They can do their thing and I'll do mine...

I remember that company Milli ..... funnily enough if my memory serves me right, the email reply once you had 'applied' said demand had exceeded supply .... funnily enough they were never heard from again
