Re: WhenU Enters the Anti-Spyware Market I just think Acrobat Reader's not adware at all. It can be classified as nagware, but that's it. All I see is the screenshot above, for 1/2 second on startup -- if my machine were faster than 500 Mhz I wouldn't see it at all.
As you say, terms and definitions are important, and I happen to think Acrobat Reader (at least, my version) doesn't fall under "adware" at all.
Otherwise, products like ZoneAlarm Free (which has far more annoying nags) would be "adware" too!
