I resently received an email from you regarding the linkexchange concept. I have since deleted that email. I have found your site very informative and think my clients would benefit from it's easy to understand definition of spyware. Would it be possiable to link back to your page here.
Thankyou, Richard R.Johnston

Adware and spyware, knowing the basics
Supporters of spyware and adware say that though it can be pretty annoying at times especially if you are really in a hurry, both do give consumers huge benefits. Because the product ads generate income for developers of shareware software, consumers can get them for free. Developers are in turn paid for their work. Of course, if you don’t want to be bothered by the constant pop-ups, you can always pay the licensing fee or the regular fee for the software. If you want it for free, you just have to sacrifice through the spyware.
There is however another downside to it. Spyware, from the name given to it, is actually used as a tracking device in your computer system. These tracking devices will look into your surfing habits, your chatting logs and even the number of times you open your email. If designed or programmed the right way, it can discover just about everything else in your system.
And because the program runs in the background, there is no way that a person can control the kind of information that he or she sends out.
These kinds of programs were actually originally used by parents or people in the business sector who wish to track down and put on record web activity. It is actually beneficial but not when people are not aware that they are being tracked down. This is often the case when people download software over the Internet. As mentioned before, it is used by companies to advertise their products and in turn help the developers of software keep their costs down so that they can afford to offer their programs for free.
Although privacy issues indeed come into play, there is nothing illegal about it. In fact, its use is prevalent all over the World Wide Web. There are however some areas that people who value their privacy will object to. Because of this, people are given the option to refuse the software.
There is really no way that one can avoid adware and spyware as these programs are packaged with the software that you will be downloading from the Internet. The most that you can do is to avoid downloading from the internet and to refuse any file downloads that you did not personally authorize. It is also good to only view websites that have a good reputation or those that have anti-spyware and adware programs installed in their pages.

If your system got Fu^cked up by RogueRemover, here is what i did to fix it,
I ended up hiding my partition with all my important stuff on it
(Using Hirens Boot CD 8.8 and Paragon Partition Manager) ,
then remove assigned drive letter, and then did a full destroy and
recover to Factory Specs., then after everything was back,
i used Paragon Partition Manager again to assign drive letter
then unhide my Valuable partition.
DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE, DO NOT INSTALL RogueRemover,
it damages your boot sector and that will make it impossible to
recover unless you do the steps that i mentioned here.
