Already it is a fight to keep your computer clean of spyware. Now they want to have you install it on your own? Fat chance! There is a reason I changed to linux. So I would not have to deal with all this trash. They may collect passively while I use their system but be damn if I will allow them to search my computer contents just because they might be interested. I don't think what I have on my computer is any of their business, be it personal corrospondance, my family vaction photos, or what recipe I might be interested at the moment. I will find what I am interested in and I don't need tailored ads to go with them. Nor do I need corportate busy-bodies interested what the contents of my computer or hardware that might be on it checking in every time I go on line. I pay for my internet bandwidth which they pirate without asking or making plain that is what they think alright to take without asking. Just who is the pirate here? Why pray tell would I want this?
