Re: AOL's trust system is really a joke

Something I encourage everybody to do:

»www.oag.state.ny.us/online_forms···tion.jsp

Thank You for submitting your complaint to the New York State Office of the Attorney General. The following information has been submitted:

Form submitted on Tue Jun 14 06:01:07 2005

Personal Information:
[omitted]

Where did you hear about us?
online

URL: www.abetterinternet.com

Complaint:
A Better Internet / Direct Revenue / ABI Network is maliciously installing Adware / SpyWare on millions of PCs. Removal is virtually impossible without running their own removal tool, which I could not do when my PC was infected because "mypctuneup.com" was a broken link. Even when mypctuneup.com can be reached, it installs additional software without authorization. All told, this "business" has cost me approx. 12 hours of labor cleaning our computers. They use a miriad of websites to covertly infect PCs. Their software morphs with dynamically renaming executables, Registry hooks, etc.
