this group is called "alt.com.freeware" Adware is not freeware.
just so some may understand adware better.
Most "adware" usually reports back to its creator or ad company with
information about the computer user's surfing habits, so as to
allow for supposedly more effective ad serving, also it tracks the ads
you click and identifies you or your IP just to make sure the clicks
are legit and not faked by the software author who may trying to cheat
the ad company.
its as close to spyware as you can get.
personally I do consider most adware to be spyware,
