Seems to me that something you install on purpose isn't spyware. Especially if it does no harm.

Heh... yeah - seems to me. I like Weatherbug... I get one popup from it when I click it to get forecasts... but it's the only popup I ever get, I use Google's popup blocker and get by OK otherwise.

I like the current temp thingy and the click to get the forecasts. I also like the severe weather alert warnings that come out on it.

I have MS's Antispyware tool running, but it's never found more than two or three items ever. I've just not ever had trouble with spyware, 'cept when I got Gator, but I was hanging out in places I shouldn't have been and so I almost deserved it ;~D

WE've been running weatherbug for a couple of years as well, no problems. In fact, the machine with weatherbug on it has had no problems whatsoever, while my machine has gotten internet phlegm several times.

No complaints here.
