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.

Dell is yet another large evil corporation trying to gather data on you in order to make money in some way or another.

As for the user, just another damn EXE or DLL that takes up memory, slows your system down, and is the technolgy equivalent of a blood sucking parasite.
