its not spyware, as far as i have bee n able to tell,

its just hosted advertising from msn, they give you the free msn service but plaster it with adverts, if you pay some stupid monthly fee you get the latest version without the ads,

ther might be a setting to take ofgf the box at the bottom, but i havent found it yet...

If you use something called a-patch, you can uleash msn from all these adds and unleash it from alot more restrictions it has:
