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. Of course they would. What does that have to do with Microsoft? | |

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. | |

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. | |
