"Spyware was found on the computers of 80 percent of participants in the study, conducted by America Online Inc. and the National Cyber Security Alliance."

Amen Brother! I cringe when I see a computer with AOL installed. After AOL5 or so, that program installs more files than the operating system... Just check the js files before and after intallion.

Particularly AOL Instant Messanger. It loads Viewpoint and WebTangent - I think that's the name. Both as flagged by AdAware as spyware.
