All it takes is one entry like this that shows up in Google - then other people see the entry and report it as fact - and before you know it ......

I think Spy Sweeper is much better product than SpywareBlaster or Spybot-Search & Destroy. Although S&D is a free product and everyone loves free products. Here is a link if you really interested in anti-spyware products

So far I've found a necessity to have more than one...as they all seem to 'miss' various problems....but between them you get 'most'...

Comet Cursor is definitely a 'problem'.....don't confuse that with CursorXP...

What the.....who in the world wants to eat a BBQ'd alien. And the Men In Black? Excorsists? Or maybe Penquins in disquise as people. Elvis? Are you all sure the Aliens aren't having BBQ'd Elvis instead of the other way around? As I remember there was alot of him. Leftovers? Somebody stop the crab he's running amok! Never mind. Got control now. Back to the oringinal intent of the thread. No, CursorXP is not tattleware. >

- There's no spyware in Cursor XP. If you use a good anti-spyware app like SpywareBlaster! or Spybot-Search&Destroy you should be fine so quit worrying about Stardock products.
