See, now you're just contradicting yourself. Is it ALL illegal and harmful or not?

No contradiction here. I've been having this discussion with others who understand these issues for years. I call everything spyware, easier to follow threads and understand what's going on and much less confusing.
If there are adware applications that fully disclose the download and ask for a physical click to say "ok", they don't steal sales, they don't corrupt computers, they don't come bundled with a bunch of other programs, and all they do is show an occasional ad (not dozens per day), that in my view would be adware and I wouldn't have a problem with it.
If you can name one like that, I'm all ears....

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.

Not sure where you got your remarks about google and yahoo?
People who promote scums, advertise via scums, sell traffic to scums, defend and condone scums, ARE scums.
