when you download something that looks pretty normal to you, there are in fact all sorts of other badies included. I dont know about you, but when i downloaded things, i never really read the agreements properly. Sometimes you think you are only installing one thing, but different companies work in cahoots and the files you dont want are actually written into the thing you want to install.
Here are the net's three worst culprits :
Bonzi Buddy ... that "cute" baboon is bad news ...
Hotbar - bad sad - installs numerous other programs and spyware.
Last but not least : Smiley Central ! Bad bad bad ... :mad:
