I want to know why Auctionwatch is installing spyware on our computers. I have a program called Ad-Aware that checks the computer for installed spyware, and guess what.
Every time I log off from Auctionwatch, I run it AND IT FINDS SPYWARE installed installed on my computer.
This is completely unacceptable on a fee pid sight and all of your users should be aware of it.

Hi Pontiacdealer,
We do not install spyware on computers -- it could be another site you visit that contains that type of an ad. The ads that we do have do not download anything to users computers.

Excuse me, Sonya, but you are in error:
While AW may not directly imbed spyware, the fact is that the gateway to AW is through DoubleClick and associated facilities, and the applications are made by DoubleClick AS AND ONLY AS A RESULT OF THE AW IMPLEMENTATION AND AD SERVICE RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT PROVIDER.
Please do not treat users as ignorami in this respect.
