It does more than that...if you get enough of it, your PC is not usable anymore.

I think spyware is more harmful to computers than virus's. One you get a little bit of spyware, more and more keeps coming. I have to to fix so many computers because of it.

I have a friend who called me because his computer slowed down to a crawl. I got a little concerned thinking it was a virus. I downloaded Spybot and Ad-aware, running one after the other. In about 30 minutes, viola!!, his computer is back up to speed. I recommend to him to resubscribe to Symantec.

All in all, I think the spyware business is getting more and more invasive. I'm not sure if legislation is the answer, especially since everyone (lawmakers) wants to legislate everything.
