I'm just posting this URL due to copyright issues with USA Today.
There is a new website as of today that claims to list all software that contains spyware/badware and the companies that create such software.
Here is the link to the USA Today article
Hope it helps everyone!
TOPICS: Technical
KEYWORDS: badware; spyware

Mods--I hope I did this right. The text in the above post is all mine. I did post a link to USA Today, thus pointing FReepers to content, while maintaining USA Today's copyright and content.

cat riley tech_pinglist > tech_pinglist The command I actually used, though, was:
cat riley tech_pinglist >> tech_pinglist
as I didn't was to trash my entire list :)

Thanks! Good thread and needed information. Last month, because of this "badware," I had to have someone reformat the hard drive on my computer and re-install the operating system.

I think it is funny that the site talking about bad ware (USA Today) puts up a pop up ad.

I think it is funny that the site talking about bad ware (USA Today) puts up a pop up ad. Get Firefox. I don't ever get pop-ups.

I have them blocked in windows, but I get a notice of the site trying to put up a pop up ad.

The sad part is the spyware programs used to REMOVE the harmful software has messed my computer up WORSE. When it gets too bad, I just reformat my C drive and reinstall windows.

It's hard to believe that spyware and spam are so prevalent, and we have laws on the books against both, yet we are seeing and INCREASE in problems. Follow the money Freepers. Lots of money to be made and donated by companies that produce anit-spyware and anti-spam products. You been had just like BrokeBack Mountain...
