.. even software that has the audacity to include an autoupdate feature is considered spyware now.
Yep, now even Norton's LiveUpdate and F-Secure's BackWeb are considered "spyware" by some .. guess the extreme paranoids amongst us would rather get infected with viruses than to use such "spyware" to update their AVs in response to new realtime threats. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face .. just goes to remind us, that *moderation* is the key -- take any issue to its extremes and you lose the original purpose for it .. or you distort it into something ridiculous.
