Are you being Spyed On....?
-Spyware or Adware-
Check to see if that software your using is Spyware...
Maybe you use Getright...guess what....Spyware.

Try the following link for utilities that will detect and remove
Spyware from your system. Most of the time the Spyware
function can be removed and the program will still work.

I suggest Ad-Aware, that's what I use. You would be suprised
at the number of Spyware programs out there, and maybe on
your system. I'm not trying to upset anyone, most if not all
of these Spyware programs are harmless, they just report information
about you and your computer to centralized servers through various means and methods. Basically it's one step up from cookies tracking
you, although that makes it sound harmless. To tell you the truth I'm
not sure of all the information that is collected on you and your
computer. I do know one thing.......I don't like it. Apparently it's
legal, some say ethical....I would argue it's not ethical, being that
everything is buried in fine-print disclosures (which no one reads).
So how do you guys feel about this Spyware stuff? Is giving up your
privacy for freeware software worth it? Or is this just the next step
in having no privacy on the internet?
