"Your link list Real Audio as Spy ware using Commet Cursor. Real Audio doesn't have any ads, nor does it use Commet Cursor, so how accurate is this list?

I think you may be a bit confused. Spyware is any software program that collect personal information, etc collected via the internet and sends it back to the makers of the software. Real Audio is a spyware (or was, I'm not sure if they are still spyware due to the media spreading that fact around). Most spywares are ad supported but they don't necessarily have to be. Comet cursor was bundled with the Real Player 7 and 8. Although comet cursor pretty much works for browsers and Real Player doesn't work much with internet browsing, I only wanted to advise others that comet cursor was bundled with Real Player 7 and 8 and thus when they surf the net, they will have it installed on their computer without their knowledge.
Please read the link on more info of Real Player and why it is considered spyware:

Thanks for reading and for your comments and concerns.
