I work for large dsl provider doing tech support and I talk to 2 or 3 people a day that have massive spyware issues. 1 or 2 of these people a week call just to cancel service all together because of it. Most of them are older people that dont use the internet for anything other than email or people that are not technicly inclined and find the hassle of dealing with spyware or spam out weighs the convinence, so its not suprising that they would give it up because of spam and spyware problems alone.
