the purveyors of slimeware

Touche.

This is just the money made from adware.

How much money is made by anti-virus, anti-adware, pop-up blocker companies and such to stop the adware?

What I want to know are who are the F$@!$$ idiots who respond to and make purchases from slimeware advertisements. The ones who make this worthwhile to do.

Our organization has about 22,000 computers.

If we are any indication, these guys are making a LOT more than this.

It is unusual to find a PC with less than 50 pieces of spyware. The current record here is 2,275 individual pieces of Malware.

It has got so bad that we simply reformat and start over, the PC's are so compromised that recovery is iffy at best.

We are on the verge of ditching IE completely and going to a different browser entirely, Firefox or some alternative.

The part that really irritates me is that IE INTENTIONALLY lets it happen. Microsoft is putting in jeopardy its very existance by continueing to enable this to happen.

And we're not paid to have our computers converted into paid advertising machines! Go figure.

What idiots buy this crap in the first place? I have been on-line since Al Gore invented the Internet, and I have not purchased one item from a pop-up or other intrusive advertising banner. Of course, I never see them since I have ad-blooking and cookie disabling software!

protowall blocks the reporting, even if infected. But, you gotta take a lot of time to open up those areas you wish to communicate with.

Hmmm...getting in touch with my inner dirty old man over here...
