First, this is a product which fullfils a made up consumer need (broadband acceleration... duh!)

Second, it is both a Scraper, and Spyware, and a Proxy.

Third, it does not honor robots.txt and does not even specify an User-Agent string for that file.

Forth, it generates extra useless traffic and wastes your bandwith.

I have only two things to say about this

No, this is not negociable. If Google wants to have access, they will have to have a different view on users than Gator / Claria. There is absolutely nothing even remotely positive to say about this product
