    What happened to spyware?

    I just noticed,

    a while back i was etting so annoyed with spyware i really was just considering just not using the internet.

    There's your answer.
    You're not using the internet, hence, you aren't getting spyware.

    It's just on a larger scale now I think, big programs like itunes and XP itself collect personal data. You're right though, I haven't really seen much of it lately. Probably because there is such a huge backlash against companies when they use any type of spyware.
