I put a bullet in the back of its headers and e-mailed the bill to Yahoo. I have had the account for many years. The execution is as pointless as Yahoo selling peoples lives for money. It just shows how well corporate America is aligned with the ideals of the People's Republic of China. What company wouldn't want access to a billion strong, subservient population?
As a person that manages several hundred systems in an enterprise, I am very aware of the what does and does not work on our company's computers. In almost every case, NONE of the large commercial offerings for spyware/malware work for SH**. And typically, it takes more than one product to do a throrough cleaning. In nearly every product "shoot-out" I have ever read the freebie or independent software is as good as, or outperforms, the major players. MS does an okay job, but still misses the mark on a lot of "infections". Why? The flaw is leaving the definition of spyware up to a company like Microsoft, or Symantec, etc. Their own business practices, marketing agreements, licensing, and distribution methods are suspect to begin with. It would be the pot calling the kettle black. It is only from independent 3rd party developers that we can expect detection and removal of *everything* that you and I would consider spyware.
