| Same as some apps
(No names) Some applications, that shall remain nameless, are practicing the same avoidance. Crapware is crapware, period! The thing that get's me, most anti-ad/spyware programs are no longer detecting and removing these "problem" apps. Who paid whom how much?
Adware, spyware... don't want either one on my system! I don't care who makes it!

How about Adobe Acrobat Reader, and the free versions of RealPlayer, QuickTime, and Opera?
They are all adware.
There is good adware and bad adware.
We need terminology that differentiates between QuickTime and CoolWebSearch.

Using default settings, Spybot S&D 1.3 is set to ignore New.net, MySearch, and SideStep, though you can uncheck the ignore boxes for them. I forget the exact reasoning behind it, but it was something rather stupid like a change in classification [rolls eyes] |
