I am not a fan of Intuit. It is immature of YOU to use a product that
runs software you don't want to run. TTax will not run without Cdilla.
Simple solution, an one that will really send the message to Intuit.
DON'T RUN TTAX. Send it in for a refund. Cut the whine because you
keep running TTax, and having to remove cdilla. Use Taxcut. Use
Taxact. Use Stubby Pencil. Hurt Intuit by costing them money. Stop
comin off as a spoiled child that can't get his way.

So use then abandon TTax and Quicken and all other Intuit Products
until they clean up their act.

Never said I approve spyware. You have a reading problem. I said
Running software that uses spyware over and over, like you said you
did, is approving spyware. You approved spyware by continually running
and reactivating TTax, even after you found out about the spyware, not
me.

I am saying your whining comes accross as an immature child who can't
get his way. You don't like spyware, don't run it. Tell everyone about
it, but stop whining about having to reactivate over and over because
of actions you do. GROW UP
