Kaspersky Wins Important Ruling for the Anti-Malware Industry

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the seperating-bad-from-good dept.

ABC writes "Zango sued Kaspersky Lab to force the Company to reclassify Zango's programs as nonthreatening and to prevent Kaspersky Lab's security software from blocking Zango's potentially undesirable programs. In the important ruling for the anti-malware industry, Judge Coughenour of the Western District of Washington threw out Zango's lawsuit on the grounds that Kaspersky was immune from liability under the Communications Decency Act."

    I remember "back in the day" when spyware was still something you needed a separate scanner (Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, etc..) for.

    Uh, someone remind me what the modern way to remove spyware is?

    I still use those programs :-/
