During a free trial of a spyware/adware detection and removal program, I came across a small number of spyware/adware programs that had been installed by different parties on the computer I was using. I successfully removed all of them but one. The one one which I did not remove, came with an advisory not to remove it because it had been placed by a company connected with the Nielsen ratings company and therefore collected valuable information.

I am not all that impressed with the Nielsen ratings company. I furthermore resent claims that it should have exclusive rights to intrusion on the privacy of others.

A local branch of a Nielsen-connected company once placed a bogus phone survey to my home one evening. I traced the call back to their office. The information I inadvertently had given them, I believe, put some people in danger.

Why is this company so special? Much spyware and adware on computers is unwanted and regarded with disdain. I do not like focus groups.

Our computers keep on crashing and I think it’s my fault because I’m on Yahoo Answers all the time. Well, atleast that’s what my mean sisters keep on telling me. =P

Has Yahoo ever caused a virus in your computer/laptop?

It’s a netgear router. All the computers can connect to the router network, so it’s not any individual computer’s fault. And I can still access the net directly through the modem, so I’m sure its the router’s fault. I’ve logged into the router using the “192.168″ address, but I can’t seem to fix it…
