Re: Too bad - I guess we didn't send him enuf $

I think we are missing the point. CWS and others of their ilk are only the tip of the iceberg, the supporting advertisers put up the $$$$ to support spyware development. It's those same ADVERTISERS' pop-ups that you see. Take away 'Madison Avenue' and the spyware crafters have no resources to support thrie evil ways! IMHO

I couldn't agree more. Why are we spending so much time wringing our hands trying to stop jerks that write this stuff when we could be going after those financing it which I'd think would be much simpler? I'd think for a company to do business this way, they have to have a money trail so you can actually pay them for the merchandise they're peddling. Follow the trail and nail the company for using this kind of advertising.

Granted some companies simply make mistakes and may not intend for their advertising to end up like this.
