Sure sure. "Once a thief, always a thief."

Claria is also fighting to disassociate itself from the term "spyware." In recent weeks,
Idiots...if they are not spyware than I don't know what they are...
Bundling their software with programs that deliver spyware, like KaZaA. Even so...it's *very* annoying.
Spyware! Die!

Sadly your right remote, as long as there is the internet and somebody who wants to make money it will never die.

You know, xoom10 or whatever filed for bankruptcy recently too.

Those bastards that pretty much started the drive for popups/popunders on alot of once-user friendly websites.

Hopefully they'll go under for good.

They should really outlaw some of that spyware that screws with your computer. Like some of those trojans --- the hijackers and dialers are really just computer viruses... I mean they can arrest the MS Blast author... why not put these people in jail? I mean they're trying it to make it illegal to send an unsolicited email (spam) but it's still ok to devise programs that trash someone's computer?

Its not OK to do that, in the US the fricken FBI will come knock knock knocking on your door if they find out your the one making viruses.
