"Step into my parlor," said the Spider to the Fly.

If 180Solutions is able to become a certified supplier, then this plan is *not* a good idea. In case you are not familiar with them, you may want to see what these spyware removal web sites have to say:

I especially liked this part:
"An important point to remember when removing 180Solutions is to delete all parts of the 180Solutions code. This is a must as 180Solutions will rebuild itself and will result in further spreading of the spyware parasite."

If these people are for it, then it is bad. That's all we need to know.
