Gator Forces Site To Remove 'Spyware' Label

lurker412 writes "CNet News is reporting that Gator has forced PC Pitstop to remove Web pages that call Gator's software 'spyware.' The correct term, according to Gator, is 'adware.' The article states: 'If we find anyone publicly calling us spyware, we correct it and take action if necessary,' said Scott Eagle, Gator's senior vice president of marketing. So be careful what you say in your comments..."

Easy way to cut back on Spyware

[The Analog Kid]

Don't use Internet Explorer. I've noticed after I switched to Mozilla Firebird I barely get any. I just installed and ran Ad-Aware, found 3 spyware programs(well registry entries and the such). Two of which came from Windows Media Player, so really only one cookie of spyware that came from Mozilla. I use to have about 27 per day using Internet Exploder.

You know dude.. I really LIKED you in Stand By Me (I'm also a recovering Stephen King reader). But I really couldn't wait until your scrawny little carcass was flushed out of an Enterprise airlock or you were sodomized to death by Warf....

You're like the John-Boy of the 90s (and it looks like poor Richard Thomas' career is reduced to playing a lawyer on some shitty show on PAX. It's too bad; he's actually a good actor).

Anyway.. keep up the good work; I'm hoping you still have an acting career (and that you gain a few pounds - try beer; it worked wonders for me).

(ps: I'm an actor too. I've been acting like a SysAdmin/Network Technical Operations for over a decade...)
