If I could change my spam from porn and HGH and penis enlargement to computer-related hardware and software discounts, I would mind it a whole lot less...
The sad thing is that the average computer user is not that literate about how to configure their system and programs. They will just settle for the defaults, allow automatic updates and whatever program can grab control of the file extensions, well that's the one that they use. I can't tell you how many times I have heard supposedly computer literate people ask me "why does this program open my.jpgs when that program used to?" These companies do it because they can.
Nice to see that they have teamed up with Pinkerton, who are known for their strong-arm methods in corporate spying, stopping strikes, labor unions and now "the enemy within". However after growing up in North Carolina I'm not that surprised. "What you thinkin' about, boy!"

Sorry, I've got friends that live like this already. Just hope Mr.e-stupid remembers to take out the garbage and take a bath at least once a month.
