Should Spyware be treated like a virus

SykkBoy · 05-04-2004

My BIGGEST gripe about this shit is the inability to uninstall it.

The auto-installs piss me off to no end as well

I use adaware and spybot almost daily and it's really getting to be a pain in the ass.

I have no problems with spam because I can filter and delete fucking spam....but this spyware, adware shit is just going too far. Although I know all the major "players" are scrambling to get auto-installing toolbars and this kind of bullshit to protecte their margins.

I personally find the chaos a little funny. I can't remember the word, but there is a Geman expression about taking joy in someone elese's failures and sometimes when I see these bigger programs get knocked down a peg or 3, a little part of me gets excited.
