Internet Explorer is a Web Browser distributed by Microsoft with most
versions of the Microsoft Windows Operating system.

Spyware Level: EXTREMELY HIGH

Internet Explorer contains many serious spyware features, however all
of these features appear to be "opt-out" features. It is not verified
whether or not opting out will actually disable all of these features,
or if there are other spyware features that are not known which cannot
be opted out of. Internet Explorer can record your search history and
location, and report that information to Microsoft. Internet Explorer
is not the worst spyware, but it is still loaded with spyware features
that can mine serious information from users.

Internet Explorer does not have available source code

Internet Explorer cannot be built from available source code. This
means that it is impossible to prove that it is not a spyware program
or that it does not have unknown spyware features inside of it.

Internet Explorer is self-updating software

Internet Explorer can be updated through spyware programs such as
Windows Update. Automatic software updates are a spyware feature
because they cannot be verified to be non-spyware by the user. Luckily,
this spyware feature is opt-out and can be turned off.

Internet Explorer sends your search history to Microsoft

Internet Explorer contains a spyware feature called "flip ahead". Flip
ahead will periodically send your browsing history to Microsoft. This
spyware feature is opt-out and can be disabled. Microsoft claims that
the information it receives is encrypted to protect user privacy and
sanitized to prevent personal information from being stored. This is
unverifiable. Microsoft confirms that it does use the information
obtained from flip ahead to build statistical models of your browsing
habits. Other spyware features such as "Smartscreen filter", and
"Suggested Sites" also confirm that they send your internet history to
Microsoft.

Internet Explorer can track your location

Internet Explorer has the spyware feature commonly referred to as
"location services", which is a feature that allows it to track the
location of the user. The privacy statement explains that your location
is obtained through a "Microsoft Location Service". Which means that
your location is sent to a Microsoft server. Microsoft does not
elaborate on what it does with this data or whether it stores this
data. This spyware feature is opt-out.

Internet Explorer has an anti-privacy search engine by default

The default search engine is Bing which datamines its users and sells
that information to advertisers.
