Re: This is asinine
That is true, but the person who agreed to install the "spyware" software in the first place would be violating the EULA by using Microsoft's removal software to rid themselves of the spyware. Of course we know that government agencies wont be busting down your door if you do so. |

How can I be violating an EULA that I never agreed to? Claria installs their software secretly. Using external software to remove another program just proves I never agreed to anything. |

 Yes the gov would bust down your door. The corp that used the EULA would cry and complaine while passing the cash to the DOJ, next thing you know, you have some special elite squad kicking your door in. Best way around it all? Buy a Mac. Duh. No spyware.. yet. |

Claria's EULA isn't worth the paper its printed on. It would be like Ford telling me I can't take my car to a mechanic to work on the car they built and I agreed to buy. |

It is assumed (for the sake of this argument at least) that the agreement is enforceble and the user agreed to its terms. In the real world, both premises are likely false, but they are neccesary to even discuss whether Microsoft is violating the EULA. |
