Programs like Real Player, instant messangers, file sharing programs etc. actually change the configuration of the machine and can really mess up things (I remember Go!zilla adding dns routing entries to the config).

I tried using Go!Zilla, and it was good for a big download, but I can't even get it to download smaller files. It just makes weirder connections other than the usual port 80 for the internet and screws my computer up. :grrr:
Real Player always freeze for me... Most file-sharing programs have spyware in it, anyway.
Cookies on some sites even have some spyware in it... I downloaded Ad-aware the other day, and I use it about every day. I just used it 15 minutes ago and 4 cookies had some type of weird programming it it; All 4 being advertisments.
