What about Adware and Spyware
It's a start for reducing email spam, but what about all of those practically malicious adware programs that automatically download and install themselves on anyone's computer? all ot of these programs operate just as maliciously as viruses and I feel that they are much more of a nussance than any amount of junk email. I don't here about any justace officials calling for the heads of the programers that wrote the cade or the company officials that commisioned it.
Adware that automatically redirects my browser to a website does influence me to buy a product. In fact I feel that I would never buy that product because of how it's being advertised to me. I wouldn't have this much of hatred toward the companies that put out this kind of software if ALL OF THEM either a)gave you the option to install their ridiculous software or b) installed it automatically and made the program easily removable by providing an easy way to remove it.
My point I'm trying to make is. If I didn't pay or click an okay button to install your crappy, pain in the ass software, then I fell that you (Either the programer or company official) should be dealt with severely!
