FTC Files Spyware Case Against Sanford Wallace
An anonymous reader writes "Legendary reformed spammer Sanford Wallace is apparently back in business, under suspicion by the Feds for advertising a trojan spyware removal tool. Wallace 'admit[s] no wrongdoing', but in the next breath says 'The FTC is trying to enforce a law that hasn't even passed', referring to the proposed anti-spyware legislation currently in Congress."

This is so creepy - I dreamed last night (in between the alien invasion and the date with Bon Jovi) that I had let a friend of a friend check her email on my computer, and when I came back to it there were spyware, pr0n, and other assorted nasties covering the screen. Every time I deleted one, two more popped up in it's place. I had just dealt with this on my laptop in real life and this bitch fubar'd my new machine!

It's more like the mafia. You need protection from what we just did to you. Pay up *and* continue to suffer all at the same time.
I'd like to send him a 'few' letters expressing my opinion of his business model.

It's not a lie. It's the truth with lossy compression.
No no no, it's more like speeding at 100 in a 70 mph zone, and getting pulled over by a really big policeman who ties you up in red tape and then spanks you with a really big paddle held by lawyers. Then you say, I don't really mind, because I like to get spanked. However, not by lawyers, but by old ladys. With white hair.
Please, stop with the rediculous analogies.
no that's charred
chared is something in between caring and charring, kind of like, "I did it because I love you."

And now spyware.
I can't be the only one who thinks the world would be a better place if "Spamford" Wallace's mommy knew about Roe v. Wade.

You wouldn't by any chance happen to have any way of contacting Wallace would you? I'm sure many of us here at Slashdot would love the chance to call him or email him to find out about his "amazing" products, or just annoy the hell out of him, take your pick.
Personally I have about 10 years worth of AOL floppies/CDs/DVDs I'd really love to send him, I know how much he values a great deal.
