Re: Hmmmm.........

His main point is that people are overreacting to this.

He's right.

It doesn't stealth install - you click "Yes, please install whenU spyware" - and removal is as simple as running add/remove. Where's the beef?

Some of the chicken little responses and acusations are mildly amusing, and makes me wonder how these people get through life without stroking out.

Wrong, not all installations of WhenU are that clear, and it's remarkably premature to remove them from Ad-Aware's database.

If you see no value in antispyware software (which is exactly what I gather from your statement), then so be it. Because EVERY current piece of spyware makes a claim that its users consented. Your position seems to support theirs.
