Spyware employees? Crabgrass? Both are about the same to me!

Please go to Wired and read the article by Bruce Sterling. It is about YOUR computer. All people that are on the internet should read this informative, brief post. Go read it now and then come back here.

One area that Bruce does not really cover is Spyware/Adware/Malware or, a more fitting description, Dungware. They are all the same no matter what anyone claims. Hey, that's my opinion and I am sticking to it. Wish for the old days when someone invaded your privacy they could be traced and receive appropriate "compensation" for their intrusion into someone's personal computer. Today we need acts of Congress to STOP ALL SPYWARE FOREVER!!! Talk to your politicals and raise holy hell about these evil creeps! Just finished working on two PCs that had a combined infection of over 500 instances of spyware. Installed, updated and ran both Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware. This is ridiculous! Hang them in public and let them rot. All the time spent defending and cleaning up concerning these clowns could be used in a positive manner that would benefit all. Contact your Congressperson and let them know you are vehement when it comes to these jerks.

"Crabgrass can grow on bowling balls in airless rooms, and there is no known way to kill it that does not involve nuclear weapons."
