my sister uses it at a lawfirm....i've warned her about it and she actually said "How can it be spyware if it gives me weather info and keeps trak of stuff for me".
People I kid you not.

In my never been humble opinion TopText is the worst. This place changes words (that happen to be keywords) on a webpage into links for its paid advertisers. For instance, abc company owns a website and they sell abc gum, yet xyz company wants to hijack visitors to abc's website. What they do is they pay toptext for the word gum...and then on every computer with toptext whenever the word gum appears there it is made into a link to xyz's website (this includes but is not limited to instances of gum on abc's website).
