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.

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


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.
