Spyware, Adware or Dungware? They are one and the same!!!

While surfing to find a registry hack or removal tool for Dealhelper malware I ran across an interesting post from December 2003, over at Slashdot. ALL DELL USERS should read this post about Dell & spyware. Very enlightening. Sorta' like the HP and Wild Tangent mistake.

Anyone running across this Dealhelper dungware should be very careful and do a thorough job of removing. It is a 'hit and run' piece of spyware plus it keeps coming back like a cyber stomach cramp on a hot day. Users not familiar with proper removal procedures need to call in professionals. I am in the process of cleaning a PC with several tools and will post a report on my findings. This sleaze has been out there for a while, but this is my first experience with removing it.

Why do these things exist? Just to prove evil is still running rampant? People at Dealhelper and all other dungware factories; go back to hell where you belong!!
