There is a listing of all known spyware available, I don't have the address
handy, but it can be found at Steve Gibson's site - www.grc.com
(BTW - no affiliation here, just admire him tremedously for what he's
doing!)

Question One - If you use OptOut or similar product to completely remove
any parasites, then install a paid version, THEN disable several EXE
programs-AND use a firewall such as ZoneAlarm... it appears to be safe.

Question Two - does it matter?  Well, I've made a conscious choice not to
support any company that invades the privacy of my computer without
my permission - whether I can make it safe or not.  I've found alternative
products that are clean, and I choose to support these companies.
