I have to respectfully disagree.
MS has changed what they call spyware and are leaving some of the
"offenders" in...
Claria, 180Solutions, WhenU, New.net, eZula TopText, and Webhancer....

"brain dead fashion" and accepting the defaults will be leaving lots of stuff
on their computer that lots of other spyware detectors suggest removing.

joint venture deal...
