Fantastic Thread..I've learned quite a bit and also have formed some opinions..

GoogleGuy - I support Googles stand on informing it's users about scumware. You mentioned how many of your users have written and complained about pop-ups and such, think about how many didn't take the time to write and just stormed away.

I downloaded and installed Kazaa, and got hit with "TopText", without warning, annoying yellow link lines strated to appear under certain keywords while I surfed. I ended up taking care of the problem along with Ad-Aware.

I wonder how many people have TopText installed and don't know where it came from..or how to get rid of it..

Excellent posts everyone..

Cheers,
