Does Your Computer Have Spyware Installed Without Your Knowledge?

From Brent Hohlweg:

"I thought this may be of interest to fellow Mac users. I was looking into 'spyware' and I came across a great spyware site. They have a list of software that installs spyware (it all seems to be Windows programs but interestingly enough Opera was listed as a software program that installs spyware without notifying the computer user. The Mac version may not have the spyware installed but then again...?"

"Here is the link for Mac users who may just want to be cautious and verify for themselves. Simply type in Opera. The list is currently at 850 programs...Ouch!"
