Spyware Gets Even Worse
kuro5hin.org has a good little piece about spyware, software that piggy-backs on other programs and installs on your computer with them, often without telling you. One particularly nasty one is VX2 which for a while installed was installed with AudioGalaxy. Wired also has a good article today, which led me to Ad-Aware, a great application that will detect spyware on your system and remove it. Posted by Donald Melanson on January 24, 2002 10:39 PM
