I don't know whether it's legal, but there doesn't seem to be much legal recourse taken against companies that use it.

I wish there was something the goverment could do. But I guess it would be pretty hard to regulate?

Oh, I saw it. I am not sure if you were talking to me, so if you weren't ignore this. But I was wondering if there was anything the govt could do about spyware.

Kinda of what they did for all those telemarketers when they made the do not call list.

Thanks though this is motivating me to actually download it now!!

99.9 % of the hits using spyware programs are just
cookies.
You may see data miner listed as the file, but its
just a cookie. tracking advertisements.
I do toss my cookies before going online with my
bank.
A free program called Swatit will clear leaches
like bots and worms.

Now that I have sorted my original problem, I may just do this. Anyone else here use it?

Love, love, my season
