Spyware Still Cheating Merchants

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the players-still-be-hatin dept.

Jamie found an interesting story about how Spyware is still on the move. It talks about how Spyware vendors are trying to clean up their image, but still doing fishy things. It breaks down several common types of spyware and some analysis of each.

    The spyware on slashdot's servers allowed me to spy on this story and craft a 1st post with ample time to spare.

  2. Maybe its time for a new name by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does anyone else find it funny that spyware is trying to clean up its image? Maybe they should start with the name. The very name SPY WARE isn't very clean. Maybe they should change their name to "used to spy now trying to decieve ware"

  3. Only one way to clean up their image by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    The only way Spyware vendors will "clean up their image" is by not making spyware anymore.
