What inconvenient truth is that?
"Spyware will always be with us
Nowadays it seems like there is no greater villian than the person who tells an inconvenient truth."

This has nothing to do with an inconvenient truth. This is about giving up, giving in, and deciding that privacy isn't worth fighting for.

Forget for a moment that the forefathers said that privacy equals freedom, but to say that ALL key-logging should be allowed, and that we should then hope that these "controls" will never be compromised, along with our passwords and credit card numbers, is so naive I can't believe it was uttered by an adult!

One good hacker, one good worm, one good piece of code, and ALL the controls in the world won?t help. AND if you CAN right code that bulletproof, why not apply it to stopping spyware itself?

Duh?
