What is spyware?

Advertising companies install additional tracking software on your system, which is continuously "calling home", using your Internet connection and reports statistical data to the "mothership". While according to the privacy policies of the companies, there will be no sensitive or identifying data collected from your system and you shall remain anonymous, it still remains the fact, that you have a "live" server sitting on your PC that is sending information about you and your surfing habits to a remote location.
If you are using Windows XP, or any other version of Windows along with their newest media player, you have spyware installed, and you can't get rid of it. XP was out for 5 months before they got caught, but they were never forced to quit using it. They were just supposed to notify the licensed users that everything they downloaded, listened to, or viewed online, was being recorded on the users hard drive, and reported to a third party for MS everytime they go online. It is said to be so ingrained in the operating system that it is impossible to disable.

Take care,
~Chris
