Hi Tony,
I use Mozilla too. It all depends upon how you have set upt security. I suggest you check for spyware usining one of the free trials from Weborot or somewhere else to see what is on your computer. You can also check what processes are running by using windows task manager. If you are comfortable with these programs running, that is fine. But don't you think one should know what will be installed before one buys? If one doesn't agree does one have to sacrafice the price or should the vendor agree to take the product back? I have no problem with people installing this stuff so long as they know that when they buy. That is their choice. But if one doesn't want to install these possibly invasive programs, it is impproper for the vendor to say "sorry but that is our policy- we won't take it back and we won'r provide software that does not require a reduction in your security."
