Re: A Guide to Spyware Comments Filed w/ the FTC

Has Mike Healan of SpywareInfo made any comments yet? I
know that one of the things he's made it a personal crusade
to do is to make those that distribute homepage hijacking
spyware like CWS and Lop go to jail for doing so.

I thought CWS helped to prevent hijacking. Are you saying that it is a hijacker of some type itself?

artesian79:

"CWS" stands for CoolWebSearch, one of the more prolific varieties of hijackware on the Net -- indeed, probably the worst of all time.

The application you're thinking of is Merijn's CWShredder, an application built to clean CWS-infected boxes.

Shuten Doji:

Mike hasn't filed comments yet.
