Spyware storm has been here

spyware,malware, etc... is keeping people they want to sell there wares to from being able to even use the internet. i have at least 10 calls a day with someone who has windows 98 running and they cant get to the internet because these programs pop-up 50 ads at a time and blow sys resources down the drain, then eventually corrupting ie. a wake up call is well over due. this kind of evasive programs that they claim are not harmful to pc try telling that to consumers who can longer surf because their programs are written so badly that it handicaps the user. i understand trying to make a buck but write software that's
1. easy to remove.
2. opt out feature that works
3. code that is compatible with older sys

crippling your potential client makes no sense to me.. hopefully the ftc will help put a stop to this and/or more states join utah and ban spyware,malware etc... make these people accountable for the problems they cause when the adware is too much for a system to handle and a customer has to spend $90 bucks and up to have their comp repaired witch means wiping the hd and reinstalling os, at least around here since no comp shop here will clean spyware because they cant guarantee it.

just my 2 cents
