Re: Dell rejects spyware charge
Libra,
"How bad is it" depends on how you define bad I suppose.
They claim to collect no personally identifiable information if you want to believe their claims.
The fact that it's geared like a trojan to resist removal is all I need to know. Anything less than a simple uninstall from the Add/Remove puts it squarely in the malware category in my opinion.
In a business environment (and I did purchase mine through their business branch) you can't have an outside program tracking your moves.
At home it is more of a personal issue on how you feel about your privacy and the use of your resources by an outside party.
The sad deal is most users will be unaware of the blood sucking crapware slowing their system and tracking their browsing.
