Re: OT: SPYWARE/TROJAN and Off Topic!
I spend alot of my time in the alt.hacker newsgroup (white hats). To some people, anything which "reports home" is spyware. Ive heard people who rant and race about Windows Update, or WinXP's registration to turn it on. To them there is never a good reason for such things.
While I agree that such things can be abused, and that abuses tend to shut down good things, Im not going to toss the good with the bad. There are ways to protect yourself from the overzealous without killing everything. Im all for anything that helps get Illwinter their fair share and improve the chances of a Dom3.
