Group delivers definition of spyware

I am so much relieved now that they defined it....: ``The group, made up of makers of anti-spyware software, will release a proposed definition of spyware and a common lexicon, said Ari Schwartz, an associate director at the Center for Democracy and Technology, which has led the work of the group. Various consumer and industry organizations helped in the effort, he said. ''

I don't know about these high-end intellectual centers of democracy, literacy, spritual lift, etc., definitions. I use the:

"s. is the .ucking script that was picked up for 'free' (and involuntarily ofcourse) by crippled browsers or mailers and which is now eating up 90% of the CPU cycles in the PCs of people running ms windwoes."

And by the way, there is no s. running on my machines.

Sorry ...
