We all know that virus called BAIDU (or PUP if you want to be precise), BAIDU Browser, BAIDU PC Optimizer, and BAIDU Antivirus LOL, an Antivirus from a spyware company.....

now here is the cherry on the topping.....Windows 10 partnering with a spyware company!!

Wow get your facts straight, Baidu is not virus or spyware, they are the Chinese equivalent of Google. If you consider Google products spyware as well, then fair enough.

I'll say again...what a maroon.

^^ This.

I wondered if they were really spyware. I mean, they operate in China, so probably not that great to deal with, but I don't see any issues with Windows and Baidu partnering to get Windows into China.

All I know of Baidu is that I see the BaiduSpider on my websites every few hours.

I'd imagine that the Chinese government probably mandates that Baidu gives them all of their search records and browsing history by law. In that light, you can almost think of them as a government sponsored spyware company

Just like Google...

Just like Google...

Google once pulled out of China instead of meeting their censorship demands, but they've since relented.

Hmmm, all I know about BAIDU is that the script I run on my website's block it.
