Jon -

I don't really have much of a way to poke into it, but just from a look at the history of the IWon/MyWay/FunWeb products and distribution, I have to speculate that it's the earlier "search engine product(s)" incorporated into some other program or buried in another application that would be most likely to cause problems.

While the current Fun Web stuff is annoying, they have apparently tried to be a little more careful than they were when the IWon stuff first appeared. The few reports I've seen of the earlier distributions though would indicate that they don't know where the "modules" went or who's using them.

Although the current EULA and Privacy documents imply they won't (normally) use it, it does appear that the newer installations open a backdoor that would permit them to install other stuff (updates?) without the user's knowledge, and someone who incorporated an early version into something could certainly use the same opening for more invasive things - possibly while still looking like "Fun Web," but doing other/additional things - or just doing the same things badly.
