Many adware are also spyware and many spyware are also adware. But I'm sure you understand this conversation and in what context the term spyware is being used. If it steals from me and reports every website I look at, then it's spying on me and it's spyware.

See, now you're just contradicting yourself. Is it ALL illegal and harmful or not?
And for you and the others wanting names... I'll tell you what, lose this "they are all scum" attitude and perhaps a name would be worth something. But since you all seem to think that even yahoo and google are stealing your ref codes, the only thing a name would do is give you someone else to hate on, and that's not the reason we do business with people.
