...if it were, somebody like my father could actually uninstall it
on his own, and it wouldn't take someone like me two hours to
clean his computer every two months because someone wasted
sperm creating the people who invented and pay to use spyware.

Where do we draw the line with spyware?

When someone comes into your house without permission its called trespassing. Why isnt it illegal to keep people out of your computer too? This will not stop until we throw some ceos in jail or fine them to the point they cannot afford to effect peoples lives with these types of advertisements. When do we say enough is enough?
