Should 'I agree' to Spyware
Let’s say you found a nice website and you downloaded an unknown software which you thought would be useful. During installation, there is the end user license agreement (EULA), and you say or click ‘I agree’ without reading it. Have you ever read the EULA? not many people read it and so do I. Why? Mostly because it would require an attorney to truly understand it.Some malicious software developer or hackers use this as a method to intrude into your system. On agreeing, you unintentionally allow the software to take control over your computer resulting in a security breach. Some software install spy-ware and ad-ware agents or codes and certain EULA acquires access to your address book to spam existing contacts. Before installing new software, make sure that the source is genuine or you might be a guinea-pig used by software developers to test their products. A Useful Freeware: EULAlyzer The Benefits * Discover potentially hidden behavior about the software you’re going to install
* Pick up on things you missed when reading license agreements
* Keep a saved database of the license agreements you view

This is very true. I work as an IT Consultant and never read EULA's. But when you get a lot of viruses being brought to you from clients, you start reading the EULA's of these little apps they install.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
yup. There's another alternative such as site adviser. If the source is genuine then I dont have to worry 'so much' about it.
