Its an ever going battle between spyware and antispyware
people. I myself hate spyware with a passion its bad
enough i have to watch adverts on tv (which i know keeps
the cost down) but to have it pop up on my computer every
time i logon is very annoying.If only the hackers that
have a grudge with microsoft turned there attention to
spyware it would make life on the internet so more
enjoyable.
