DAP is listed as an applications with spyware/ adware incorporated, in the 'Spychaser' app included with the free CD-Rom for April.
I'm sure though that I have seen a previous article in PCW that states that being free of spyware/adware was one of DAP's features. What gives?

41928 2002-04-05 00:52:00 unfortunatly some 'spyware' listings list adware as spyware reguardless.

as far as i know noone has proved DAP as being spyware.

personally i like the approuch DAP and opera use for thier ads. no 3rd party spyware crap. pity more programs don't do that.

if you really want to stop any sort of info going back disable the mirror searches.
