I see it far worse than that...

It is a deliberately installed Trojan that reports your activities to
unknown 3rd parties.


If you /are/ a shopping junkie, then it /might/ be in some way helpful.

However, bleeding out details of your every keyboard and mouse action
is oh so wide open to abuse, or just simple embarrassment, or far far
worse...


And some people think web browser tracking is a good idea?...


Cheers,
Martin
