Linda, I agree with you on both terms, invasive + intrusive. This is why I abandoned Peter Norton and McAfee years ago, also Zone alarm. . .I don't need nor desire their intrusive and irritating beeps and messages. I disable ALL cookies and this takes care of most of the intrusive beasts. Ed
<Linda wrote:> LOL...actually, I just realized the word I used was "invasive", not "intrusive"..."intrusive" is the word YOU used, John Here's the definition of "invasive": "Marked by the tendency to spread" So, I guess I consider programs that put lots more on my system than they tell me, and don't allow me to easily remove them, both intrusive AND invasive.
