Spyware and Adware cripple more computers per day than any computer virus ever has.
Spyware steals your bandwidth, that you pay for, to send back data as often as every 30 seconds. With a large amount of spyware, your internet will slow down to a crawl. Browser Hijackers are a common form of spyware / Adware.
Most big name computers come with spyware / adware preinstalled. Some spyware / adware will open ports for downloading even more spyware / adware automaticly.
The only PROVEN way to remove spyware and adware is with "Ad-Aware" and "Spybot Search and Destroy" both are free! To help prevent spyware the only PROVEN way is "Spyware Blaster", also free. All these require updates weekly to keep clean.
If installing a P2P or Shareware program that has spyware, DON'T BUY THE FULL VERSION. The only reason these companies are still in business is because of fools and their money. Don't use it and don't buy it!!! Although a program itself may not be spyware/adware, it will have it bundled with it.
Stick with Media Player!!! Most others are infected with spyware or adware.
Google a product before trying it!
Examples for Google Searches:
"Realone spyware"
"Gator spyware"
"Comet Cursor spyware"
"AIM spyware"
"Wildtangent Spyware"
"weatherbug spyware"
"__________ spyware" (fill in the blank with anything you are thinking about installing) If no results are found, try replacing the word "spyware" with the word "adware".
Fact: Google is only known search website that doesn't have some form of Spyware or Adware. Great homepage!
Beware of bogus spyware removal software. Here is a tip! If they advertise their products with pop-ups, banner ads, and etc. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!
Tip: Try Mozilla's Firefox with the adblock extension. This will help you block all those spyware ads on website.

Get the spyware mug.Friends with Benefits is a PC term for SLUT and/or Whore. This type of adultry falls into the same catagory. Call it what you want, but to have a friend with benefits just makes a whore out of you. Save yourself for marriage.

Get the friends with benefits mug.A drunk catcher is an area where drunk drivers commonly crash. Usually at the end of long straightaways. Commonly marked by tire skid marks and damage to the guardrails.

Get the drunk catcher mug.politically correctness is often used to force someone else to comply with YOUR thinking. Example: Bill Clinton imposed a SIN TAX because HE/THEY could. Being extreme liberal, this was allowed to slide. Georgia's Governor Sonny Perdue ( a republican tax and spend Liberal ) passed a sin tax of his own and banned smoking in the work place, including large manufactoring plants, and any public gathering. He also manipulated the state worker's insurance to charge them an extra 40 dollars per month as punishment.
Now, I said all this.... Still paying attention***
Now the PC target is OBESITY. They have already change the thinking as to what is obese. What used to be twice normal body weight is now just 20 lbs. over normal body weight. Just 20 pounds overweight and someone will shout at you in McDonalds for eating a big mac. (This is already happening).
Soon, those 20lbs overweight will be paying more for airline tickets, health insurance, and the list goes on.
Then what will be next??? Blondes?? Brunettes?? Redheads?? or maybe those who have body odor.

Political Correctness is what will divide the USA again. There will be another split. Conservatives vs Liberals and the hot button issue is Political Correctness. Mark my words, people are talking about it.
