Installing spyware on people's computers outta be against the law.
That's why when using programs that access the internet (let's say KaZaA, for instance), check the EULA-- End User License Agreement. It <i>has</i> to state that it will install spyware (it may not be labelled as such in the EULA, though). If you disagree with their use of such products, don't finish the install (or get KaZaA Lite, which eliminates the spyware aspect).
And be careful about websites which ask you to download certain ActiveX controls or other programs that are "required" to view their site. Those are almost certainly spyware (or God knows what else).
