| The Coming Spyware Superstorm?
WTF do they mean coming? Where have they been? If I were to disable all my anti-everything software, I wouldn't be able to surf.
If they mean more is coming... uh, DUH!
Guess it's time to "turn up" a couple of programs.  |

| ""Much of the "evil" things heard about "adware" are over-exaggerations packaged by the "anti-advertising industry" as a "fear sale" pressure tactic," the company argues. "This approach is consistent with the interests of an "anti-adware" company in fostering fear and discontent on the part of the general public regarding advertising software. The more the public fears, the more the "anti-advertising industry" profits."
Profits made off of the most effective (and totally free) spyware removal tools: Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware? Profits made by Eric Howes? C2 Media argues that they and companies like them "should not be penalized for creating innovative new technologies that allow advertisers the opportunity to more easily reach targeted consumers."
Profits? From FREE software?

the intruders, the unwelcome advertisers, are attemtping to cause resentment toward out anti spyware protectors by insinuating they're making profits.
What I hear is them whining that THEY aren't furnished your personal information FREE OF CHARGE to sell to every scoundrel around the world. |
