Default Not exactly on the topic at hand, but....

Do you want to know how to force people to accept your spyware? Simple, do like RadLight did and HAVE YOUR INSTALLER UNINSTALL AD AWARE FROM THE USER'S MACHINE WHEN THEY INSTALL YOUR PRODUCT!

Here's the link to the Ad Aware message boards with the story:

http://www.lavasoft.nu/cgi-bin/forum...t=ST;f=20;t=13

EDIT: Addendum: The author of RadLight stated that he was trying to prove a point that since Ad Aware forces the removal of spyware -- the only component to allow some developers to make money from their products -- that he would force the removal of Ad Aware to get his point across... his point being that Ad Aware, in his opinion, participates in the illegal removal of legally installed software (adware/spyware components). Of course, it backfired on him big time, but I suppose that was to be expected.
