FTC Files Spyware Case Against Sanford Wallace

Posted by michael on from the straight-and-narrow dept.

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."

    I wonder if the FTC will try and go after the creator of Messenger Plus!, the addon for MSN Messenger...seeing as how it gives you the option of installing Adware/Spyware when you install the program; the thing is I don't see it happening at all since the law is only good for the USA?!

    Sounds like the bonzi case a year ago. The same lawyer has filed a class action suit over Windows Powertools now for fraud: http://www.lukins.com/practice/area.php?pid=6
