People Continue to Ignore the Safety of Their Computers and Privacy

If you put something on my computer without my DIRECT permission you are a SOB and no good bastard. It's that simple. After searching for over 30 minutes to find 'Claria's ' homepage it seems to have disappeared. They were called Gator then GAIN in the early years. Claria has bragged on their homepage that 33% of their revenues came from Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!! That was years ago. Damn it folks, get your heads right and stop using Yahoo. You are infesting your machine! Get a GMail account, find some other way to instant message (even that horrible, horrible Windows Messenger is better) and never visit the Yahoo site again. Stop using that stupid toolbar! You don't need it! There are a massive amount of articles out there about this problem yet people seem to become sheeple and in a dazed state keep going back for more. Haven't you drank from this bowl enough?

They call it adware, which seems to make them feel better about invading your privacy. This garbage is much more dangerous than viruses or trojans. To read further, try a google search about the problem. You'll literally have over a million sources from which to choose.
