Re: Instability threatened by spyware?

I agree with the statement "- There's an increasing trend of companies releasing public relation stunts dressed up as removal tools - that do little more than protect marketing relationships with spyware vendors." I find it very suspicious that the free adware from aol finds nothing time after time, when others that I use like Spy Sweeper let me know about stuff that was there I didn't know about. Even if all a Spyware programme finds are low-risk cookies, its still nice to be informed that they are there, where they are and what they are doing by your Spyware programme, and not just have them ignored as something "the yokels don't need to worry about!"

Based on my experience with a Dell laptop, maybe it is okay as written.

In late 2003 Dell took an image hit when they told support techs to avoid helping customers with spyware, even if customer system instability was being affected.
Maybe needs rephrasing?
