Mischaracterized as spyware? Funny, everytime I ran adaware, the one thing that it picked up fragments of all over my system was Comet Cutsor.

If you use spybot you will get this messsage and it is the same with comet they too

You have AdAware installed.
If you have the AdAware option to scan inside archives enabled, AdAware may find files in the Spybot-S&D folder. Spybot-S&D does not contain any spyware, but it creates backups of everything you fix (until you remove those backups from the Recovery list), and AdAware complains about these backups. You can safely ignore these backups found by AdAware.

We hate spam, spyware, and adware — these are polluting the Internet! At Comet and Starware, we never ask for names or email addresses so you don't need to worry about whether you may get spam as a result of using our products.

An Associated Press article unfairly accused us of tracking users in 1999. This was untrue. We do not track users and never have. Please read the corrections below.

"Jamie Rosen, head of the company that publishes Comet Cursor, takes strong exception to those remarks. I have to say, largely, for good reason.", Philadelphia Inquirer, 5/23/02

"As for the spyware allegations, they're not true." according to ZDNet's Anchor Desk, 1/23/01.

just for imformation!
