Ho trovato questa spiegazione del perchè è considerato spyware:
"The Viewpoint Media Player is often installed without giving the user notice and without mention in the installing program's licensing agreement. The user does not consent to the installation in these cases. Removing the installing program does not remove Viewpoint. These are the primary reasons why Viewpoint is listed as spyware -- it does keep some tracking information (see below) and it does not notify the user. "
comunque tutto l'articolo lo trovi qui:
