Deal may mean shifting adware model

Spyware companies not identified: I'm not so much interested in all the ways to avoid the hassle of surreptitious installation, as having the legal means to fight back. I could sue their pants off, but I can't find any articles that discuss the names of the businesses, their principals, or the states in which they're chartered and/or operating. E.g., "180solutions software" is not a legitimate business name. It may be a legitimately registered fictitious trade name, but you can't sue a fictitious name. I want to be able to sue the bastards, but no one will tell me who and where they are. Everyone wants to sell me software to remove the crap they install. As Rumpole says, "crime is a growth industry".; Posted by: d_l_h_ Posted on: 05/13/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
