You know, defining "spyware" can be tricky... what Weatherbug says seems solid on
face, in the past Eudora has been falsely accused of spyware, I think because of the
names of some files, giving at least one program a "false positive" and I see a
controversy about the EAnthology link.
Anybody have a good link discussing the definitions and reviewing the controversies,
with recommendations about which softwares to trust ?
"Coalition Against Spyware Technologies", mentioned below, is hard to find.
Shalom,
Schmuel
