| Mild *spyware* more appropriate label They want to be classified as "mild adware", I think "mild spyware" is more appropriate. Their product keeps track of user information (what ads are displayed and clicked on, etc.) and reports back to a server therefore it is definately spyware. However, it only records info from within the program it's bundeled with; it doesn't record info from 3rd party programs (like what websites you go to, programs you run, comp. stats, etc.). So I would call it "mild *spyware*" and let the user decide if the are willing to allow some of their info and stats to be sent to someone else. Calling it just *adware* is misleading because that implies that all it does is display ads. |
