I hate this invasive application but as it is typical with users in my organization, people exclaim some bizarre 
business need for it.  I'm finding more and more users end up hating it because it auto-sends advertising to those in 
their contacts.  In the EULA it states this, and in the end it's a pain to remove from the client. Anyone know of a 
removal tool for it? Is there any benefit to having an untrusted third-party know who you email? What is the best way 
to explain to users that untrusted apps are a "no-no", without establishing a policy (the dreaded P word is a sin to 
say around here)? 

Thanks,

Joe
