I would start looking for alternatives to the MS solution as they are
creatively defining what is "spyware" and what is not.
Claria/Gator/Whatever it is called this week IS Spyware, EULA or not.

If you are an administrator who is responsible for multiple computers
you understand the danger of "ignoring" the Claria threat, and you
also understand how it gets on certain workstations (like users
installing screen savers). You also understand that it is not always
possible to lock things down appropriately because of shitware from
Adobe, and Intuit which said administrators don't always have control
over.

Maybe we need shitware removers instead of spyware removers.
