Are you aware that your copy of Bearshare contains SpyWare ?


SpyWare is anonymous surveillance for profit.
SpyWare is any program running in the background tracking your web browsing habits which get recorded & sent out to a server on the web.

If you were aware of the SpyWare program(s) hidden inside BearShare would you still have downloaded it ? or searched for a spywareless gnutella client ?

for more info, search for spyware on the net

please reply with your answers & any comments
Thanks in advance for participating in this survey
You should rephrase your questions as follows:<ol>
<li>Are you aware that your copy of Bearshare contains SpyWare [if you choose to install them]?</li>
<li>SpyWare is anonymous surveillance for profit [, and that revenue is needed because banner ad revenue by itself doesn't cover the cost of developing, distributing, and supporting BearShare].</li>
<li>SpyWare is any program running in the background tracking your web browsing habits which get recorded & sent out to a server on the web [, and that information is not associated with what you share or download through BearShare].</li>
<li>If you were aware of the [optional] SpyWare program(s) [which are described while installing BearShare] would you still have downloaded it?</li>
</ol>
