Checked the EULA?

As the Director of Technology and Research for a law firm, we are considering litigation against some of the spyware companies for unauthorized use of resources and the time it takes for me and my staff to repeatedly remove spyware. It is obvious that is going to be one of the few ways to curtail spyware. Gator and its kind can be forced to pay for what they steal!!!

Good luck! I hope you win a fortune.
The problem is, I don't think yopu're going to be able to catch the larger offenders. Many of them piggyback onto pc's, and heedless people click the EULA that lets 'em on.
And catching the small fry isn't going to make you much. They probably are ready to disappear at any moment.
Or am I being pessimistic?
