Google the King of Spyware
Good old Google, their toolbar autoupdates, users do not know the code that Google loads when updating, do they follow you around your intranet?

Why did Google come out with recommended industry standards for spyware, because they are the worlds largest Spyware Vendor. Now they want to puff their way into your hard drive?

So they will know your searches, your email, your friends (Orkut), what you publish (Blogger) and your desktop. Do we trust Google with all of this data, next your intranets following around users with the toolbar? see the spyware pages at http://www.searchwars.squarespace.com The spyware companies have the ALEXA toolbar in their profiles but to date have not added the Google Autoupdater toolbar to the profiles. Why? Because Google sends millions of customers to them from links at the bottom of their new spyware recommendation page, looks like a conflict of interest to me by the spyware companies and Google with their so called save the world from spyware crap self regulations which have been called lip service by trade publications that are not Bias toward Google spyware.
