Comet Cursor not Spyware claim founders. Just Crapware! "The information we were logging was completely useless, except for charging sites for cursor impressions," said Rosen, who pointed out in Lavasoft's forums that Comet Systems is a company of programmers, not marketeers. "You may believe that our software is buggy, in which case you may conclude we're lame, but we're not running a direct marketing business like some of the other malware/adware/spyware companies on your list," Rosen wrote.

I didn't really care if it was spyware or not. It was just annoying, worthless, and difficult to get rid of. To say they weren't also spying on us seems almost besides the point.

You go into a bar and introduce yourself as working for Comet Systems

Worst pickup line. Ever.

"Hi I work for Comet systems."

"Wow, what a coincidence, I work for Lavasoft"

"Does that mean I'm getting your number?"
