Oh man i hope this makes life as Tech support a little bit easier. Unfortunately i think that most companies of this junk will just move their servers overseas. What do you guys think?
The bill gives the Justice Department an additional $10 million per year through 2009 to fight spyware.

in time, spyware will be fully illegal. :D

Spyware will never be gone as corrupt countries allow companies to spread this code from their shores.

True, but this is a step in the right direction nontheless. It will never be completely removed, but at least it won't be any easier for them to do it. Hopefully in time the major anti-virus software companies will start treating spyware more like viruses.

Well, hopefully if the GNU movement picks up, we also won't have to worry as much about think like spyware. Will spyware ever be gone? I don't know, but I do think we are moving in the right direction.

As soon as sites offering free smiles, cursors
etc. ( asking only for one acception ) exist it won't stop. I believe that if a site has spyware or something like this on it must be closed immediately
