My poor soul.....
when you watch a commercial on TV, do then have to take the TV to the repair shop to have it fixed?

When you go to the gym, does your trainer kick you in the balls so you have to limp around at a snails pace for the rest of the day?

I can't think of anything for the beer but I hope you get the point.. Spyware cripples peoples computers and costs less savoy computer users a shit load of money getting their computers fixed.

I used to do service calls for 3 major ISP's. I'd say at least 80% of the service calls were because of spyware. I wouldn't even want to imagine how much money spyware costs companies like AOL, Road Runner, EarthLink in phone tech support and on site service calls. Not to mention Microsoft and all the computer manufactuors that also have their help lines filled with people trying to fix spyware issues.

Anyone that pushes anything remotely close to spyware is scum in my book. I don't care how cool he maybe in person or how much money they have. Scum is Scum.
