Thanks for the link. This has been big news in the MVP forums, and I've been surprised how many people are up in arms over what seems to me to be nothing more than a rumour. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Look... Ok, I admit it. I spell like crap when I am typing in a text area with no spell checker available. I figure what the heck, most of the time the server times out on me anyway :sigh:

Some people will use any excuse to bash Microsoft. A few FUD rumours about spyware are always a good starting point. Of course, sensible people run at least 2 anti-spyware apps as most apps have their own little quirks about what they consider to be spyware. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

I have heard about 'Corporate Spyware' which is supposed to be spyware programs installed by IT administrator on users computer. Since this is installed by the admins and serve the corparation needs, anti-spyware programs don't flag them as such. Does anyone heard about them? Are they real, and if yes, how can i detect them?
