CNET: "Re-elect George Bush GOP Screensaver" bundled with adware / spyware
CNET user opinions below.

But here's the BEST part...read THIS:

"Editor's note: This download includes adware bundled with the software's installer file. Adware may record your surfing habits, deliver advertising, collect private information, or modify your system settings. Pay close attention to the end user license agreement and installation options. For more information on adware and spyware, please visit our Spyware Center."



User opinions:

1). "GEORGE DUBYA!!"
Hey I downloaded this and installed it...it works fine..but the joke of it all is I was scared that this program would find software on my computer to be weapons of mass destruction and format my hard drive LOL...I dont like dubya...GO KERRY!!!!!

2). "The says it all really"
A program that does nothing except show some glitzy graphics when it isn't important for you, and then also installs spyware stuff on your machine. This just about sums up Bushes term in office.

3). "Since installing I've lost my job and all my private files were stolen"
This is the worst software ever. Since installing I lost my job to India, my child owes $24,000 plus interest to pay off the national debt and my buddy who got injured in Iraq came home to no job and no benefits. I tried to call tech support and was told I was an enemy combatant for calling to complaign.

4). "Great..."
Pretty cool screen saver even thought I will elect John Kerry :-)
