Losing the battle against spyware.
It seems that some anti-spyware companies have sold-out to certain spyware companies.
What good is an anti-spyware, if it's designed to "ignore" certain spyware/adware??
I received the following link in an email from PCPITSTOP. It tells me what I ahve been suspecting all along.
Is there any way, to check a computer, and make sure it has absolutely NO spyware???
Is there an anti-spyware program, that does not ignore, or exclude any spyware??
As you know, Spybot ignores certain spyware by default (claiming removing the spyware would cause damage)
Even Microsoft (which has been talking about buying Claria (GATOR) ) is suspect.
Adaware has also been accused of bending to spyware companies ...
They are a bunch of traitors.. I'd be willing to buy an anti-spyware program, IF they did not sell out to spyware/adware scumbags.
Don't have spyware??? Are you 100% sure? Willing to bet your life on it??

Bootlegging is BIG business and covers software, hardware, toys, music cds/tapes/records, cloths and just about anything else that has a commercial value. There are quite a few countries that are responsible for manufacturing and bringing in bootlegged products to this and other countries, and is much bigger than the guy that just copies Microsoft's Windows software, or trades off recordings of their favorite CD's.
The music industry, for example, itself is in a creative slump - years ago, the music pretty much spoke itself, where nowadays, it's all about image and all too familar "autonomic biological response system" (without spelling it out) natually built into people that leads to excellent, excellent, oh so excellent financial marketability. :)
