You call subjecting you to an endless barrage of spam advertising emails harmless?

The bad part of Spyware is that many of the programs that use it (Kazaa is the only one I know about, but I'm sure others do) automatically report to Microsoft if you are using a pirate version of one of their programs... Microsoft are having a crackdown, you see...

A friend of mine has a program that blocks Spyware from all programs that use it (except Windows XP). I'll try and find out what it is...

EDIT: Oh, and Audiogalaxy doesn't use Spyware, for one, so you're safe there...
