Re: Spwware/Adware: Who cares; I want neither

said by TK Junk Mail See Profile :

Actually I don't care how they delineate one from the other because I want neither. And I want my anti-(spy/ad)ware tool to delete both types. Setting up rules that differentiate one from the other just means that the spyware vendors will put together a 20 page EULA during install that meets the legal requirements to be called adware. A pox on both their houses.

LOL! I've been grouping it all together and calling it what it is for a while - crapware! Ad/spy/malware = crapware.

Good call! That's the main crux of the post we have made but Mr. A doesn't seem to grasp this.

Isn't it called "VISTA" (Virus, Infections, Spyware, Trojans, Ad-ware)?
