Ping itzwicks - Talk to your state reps

Microsoft is pushing (and wrote) an antispyware bill in OK, HB 2083. The antispyware bits of the bill are acceptable. Other portions of the bill are not however. If software is upgradeable online via an autoupdate mechanism, the company is free to rummage your hard drive and forward anything to law enforcement, no warrant needed. They are also free to erase anything they damn well please.
