If Im not mistaken, Claria Corp has filed a lawsuit against someone for libel and slander after the defendant in question called their GAIN product "spyware".
libel? slander? comon sense!
ad-aware detects 46 entries that GAIN adds to your computer that is considered adware or spyware.
Of those, they are classified as "Data Miners" in otherwords, they track and record data (where you browse, what you do, etc) in order to give you ads that ables their customers (the people who make the ads and use GAIN as a marketing tool) to target you more efficiently. The point is, it SPIES on your web usage. That is spyware.
not spyware, eh? good luck arguing your case.
Corporate assraping sons of bitches....
oops, I didnt say that...
