Have you searched the program for spyware and adaware?
Even the Google toolbar I'm told is spyware

Anything you download and do on the Internet involve risks. If you do not take time to test things you may lose opportunity to learn something and improve your Internet experiences. I think people put too much thinking behind protecting their PCs against spyware and adware. I have made images of my PCs and if I screw up, I just re-image it and I am back and running in less than 30 minutes. The data That I collect get scanned for viruses and spyware and is held in a share on my network so nothing gets lost if I crash.
