This paper takes a fresh look at the contents of end user license agreements (EULAs) and how users are induced to waive their rights by accepting them. The paper takes a closer look at spyware types and possible ways of detecting the presence of the misleading language in the EULA signifying the presence of Spyware. The paper discusses some common legitimate programs that carry secret spyware programs and install them on the victim’s computer along with legitimate programs. A number of programs for detecting and destroying spyware that has already been installed on end user computers are also discussed.
