This is so dumb. One, people are lazy - they shorten jargon to one
two syllables not three (adware malware software spyware ..) I
suggest suckware.
Two - as usual for this stuff - the definition is fuzzy. "without the
express wish or knowledge .." applies to every dll, javasript,
shockwave applet, windows update, autoupdate etc. etc. And please no
"of course common sense applies.." -- the definition says "express"
wish or knowledge, and who gets to know what loads when you load
software? You can't say "a program and its parts necessary to run,
since i'm sure corel thinks that lame eternal updater that comes with
wordperfect is "necessary."
Don't eat food thats bad for you. Don't load code thats bad for you.
Good luck doing either one.
