Default Re: OT: SPYWARE/TROJAN and Off Topic!

Illwinter has been following this thread but they are headed out of town and wont be back till about Monday. The impression I get is that the reaction to this has been kindof a surprise. It is a fairly common practice now and considered not as effective but nicer to the Users than the various other schemes available.

Although I think that most of the biggies that do this have a page full of text you have to read and agree to (full of too much legal junk for anyone to bother reading) which basically ends up with "you already said it was OK".
