Simple question: why is Cydoor spyware? Cydoor (unless the company is lying) does nothing that your browser doesn't do when you view a banner ad. So, why do people insist on calling it spyware? There's little doubt in my mind that people dislike most 3rd-party revenue generating components not because of what they do, but because they make assumptions about what they do based on the fact that people refer to them as "spyware".
