摘要：

A survey was conducted to empirically identify the rhetoric and the reasoning behind users dislike of spyware. The average age of the respondents was nearly 23.5 years, with an average of 3.5 years of post-secondary education. The demographic represented by the survey respondents matches the typical age of individuals who download vast amounts of software and files from the Internet. The results showed that a vast majority of the respondents found spyware to be harmful with nearly two out of three respondents indicating they strongly disagreed or disagreed with the statement that 'spyware is more beneficial than harmful'.
