I think it's pretty safe to say, you are involved with spyware, which you call add supported software. I have no problems with that, if the user knows about it before installing.

Real Player does it, Goggle Tool bar does it, the diffrence is they both make it very clear in bold writing that this in included in their software. It's right there where you can't miss it.

However my guess is you have this in your user agreement, but it's buried under 500 words of text in small print. Hence you are technically legal, but the adverage surfer has no clue that you are installing spyware.
this is the mistake of the misguided.
we have no program, we install nothing.
We run ads. approximately 150 different ads.
49th dipshit wants to condemn us because all of our ads don't meet with approval.
he chooses to badmouth me because the other companies running the same ads; double click, fast click, advertising.com, etc. won't give him the same bang for his buck that posting about me will get him here.

oops, looks like he got a little too much bang.
