180 Solutions Cuts Back on Spyware Installs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the squeeky-wheel-gets-the-grease dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Washingtonpost.com is reporting that adware purveyor 180Solutions has finally decided to stop letting third-party companies install their programs for commission without 180's approval. The story says 180 announced the move after pressure from public interest groups who threatened to file a formal complaint with regulators at the Federal Trade Commission."
