Dell rejects spyware charge
John Leyden, The Register 2005-07-15

Dell has rejected allegations that its PCs come pre-loaded with an intrusive application that spies on users' surfing habits. The equipment manufacturer said there was nothing untoward about My Way Search Assistant despite complaints from customers that the toolbar impares computer performance, changes browser settings and is difficult to remove.

Most people are just oblivious to these types of programs and assume they are of good nature. Just do it up with some smiley faces and free offers and most think; "hey, isnt this a great thing to have?". Non-the-less Dell should be pressured into removing this kind of junk programs as they end up causing numerous system problems and bogging down computers in the end. But then again, maybe thats what they want, they can sell thier warranties, support services and more computers to fix customer problems. The only way to beat these thingsa is to be knowledgeable and learn from experience.
