Definately need to define SPYWARE

Everyone definately needs to stop by the FTC web site and explain to the FTC what "spyware" means...

Please, FTC, why do you feel we need to EXPLAIN the term "spyware" to you? How hard it it to understand? The very requirement to provide INPUT demonstrates a prejudice...

Here's your definition:

"ANY DAMN THING DESIGNED TO COLLECT ANY DAMN INFORMATION ABOUT MY ACTIVITY ON ANY PORTION OF THE INTERNET AND REPORT IT TO ANYONE WITHOUT MY PRIOR APPROVAL IS SPYWARE"... just how freakin' hard is it anyway.

Do ensure you make it that plain for them...

Your Spyware Definition was so perfect that I sent it in an email to the FTC comments website. I did NOT use your name or anything to identify you. I just thought your Definition was so good that it should have gone on the record. I truly hope you are not upset.

Bravo

Until I loaded Spybot, Spyware Blaster and Ad-aware on all four of our home computers, the internet was really unusable. After surfing the internet for 5 minutes, there would be (no kidding) a hundred plus I.E. windows opened with ads, and Zone Alarm couldn't keep up with all the requests for a internet connection from the spyware programs. I know that we may be the exception as our daughter downloads every free thing under the sun

Great new is now all that is a thing of the past. I was so impressed with all 3 programs that I made donations to all of them and wrote a thank you email to each one.

When I load these programs on other peoples computers they can not believe all the crap that they had NO IDEA was on on Their computer!!

I wrote my thoughts to the FCC and I hope that others do to so that spyware and adware can be a thing of the past, or at least an opt "IN" product only!!!
