Comments on news posted 2004-11-02 15:06:08: As we mentioned last week, "anti-spyware" company Aluria has lost all legitimacy to many by dubbing WhenU - one of the web's more prodigious irritant-ware creators - as "Spyware SAFE Certified" under a new agreement. ..

Who knows latin?

How do you say 'surfer beware'?

As with most things in life, one has to research things on their own and not trust the word of companies who are and will do/say anything to make a profit. Who the heck is Aluria anyways?

They create spyware detection software, for AOL and others.

Except now, it doesn't detect WhenU.

  Who are these spyware cat-and-mouse hijackers?

A spyware mystery: Who are those hijackers?
By Anick Jesdanun The Associated Press
Tuesday, November 2, 2004
CoolWebSearch and Its programmers have managed to reset Web browsers so that searches get rerouted to the Cool Web Search engine. And any time antispyware engineers find a way to stop the hijacking, a new variant pops up, sneakier than its predecessor. There are now dozens.

Who do you think is at the root of all of this but Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Steve Case?

Who else hides behind others?

it was more of a question of, does anyone care about them vs. not knowing what they did!

If they're providing spyware scanning service for AOL's millions of members, why wouldn't you care that they're doing an incomplete job?

Yes, ok, but the money they make off of those AOL users keeps ad/spyware companies in business so they can irritate the rest of us.....

Yes; and not even as interesting as the "Homo Sapien Lot lizardea" known as "Thunder Thights" at the Sapp Brother's truck Stop. who is heard on Channel 19 saying "I'm go'in to whok yo world":D

 Solution

Boycott WhenU and Aluria's half-assed spyware product and spread the word on how they (WhenU) try and be the good guy when obviously they are spyware underneith this "good guy" mask.

Re: Solution

WhenU is easy to get rid of. [i did it manually], but the eXact spyware is impossible to get rid of and no anti-spyware is detecting them yet. deleting them and they just come back. nls.exe, and their upload/download .exes also come back if you try to get rid of them. why isn't anyone detecting them yet. i believe they're part of the navisearch spyware.
