Washington state sues spyware maker

Fake Anti- Spy: Okay, so they're going after this one. When are they going to take on the other fake anti- spyware companies? There are several of them that pull the "your computer is infected, so buy our product to clean it" scam. They do this when you visit a website that has been compromised. I recently spent a day helping 2 friends to get rid of this kind of crap!
There is a list of bad anti- spy programs at http://spywarewarrior.com/ If they can be discovered on such a list, why can't the lawyers and MS go after them all?; Posted by: myrddin@... Posted on: 01/25/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
