There is a lot of other companies out there playing the same game. I was glad to see Microsoft get more proactive in dealing with these clowns. I recommend you download a free copy of Microsoft AntiSpyware (Beta1). Microsoft also appears to have an arrangement with CA to get free downloads of WZ Anti-Virus and EZ Firewall.

Make that EZ Anti-Virus.

Spyware is no different than a stranger coming into your house and damaging your computer. We need to prosecute these cases hardcore.
