Um, didn't Microsoft reclassify Gator's spyware program once they acquited the company?
The moral thing would have been to shut them down (put the programmers on other software) but instead they did what Bill Clinton did in reclassifying the KLA so they were not "terrorists".
Gator was one of the horrible programs I referred to that would reinstall if you didn't remove all of it.
