I'm really curious as to how Microsoft is going to address this in future versions of Windows. Anyway, I want a Mac so I'll be safe from this spyware nuisance for at least a while. >_<

Spyware is very agrivateing, I have knowledge in computers and still have trouble getting rid of all of it.

Lol just cleaned my comp last saturday...199 spywares in 2 weeks

I bet most of those were just tracking cookies. If you don't install much new software, the chances of getting spyware are a lot slimmer.
