Spyware is just about the most aggravating thing around. And its cousin Adware is not so pretty either. Did you know that the Federal Trade Commission has been working on this problem and actually filed a couple of lawsuits on Spyware programmers? Its true and although spyware is still out there you will be happy to know that the FTC has issued a report telling everyone all about it and warning us; as if we didnt know? Dah? In fact the FTC used this report to harness more money from for their FY 2007 Budget from Congress stating; Spyware. During FY 2005, the FTC issued a report on spyware, and brought several important law enforcement actions to stop marketers who loaded unwanted and risky software onto consumers' personal computers without their knowledge, consent, or instructions about how to remove the unwanted software. FTC staff also developed new tools to detect, locate, and investigate spyware purveyors, and launched other nonpublic law enforcement investigations. Should the FTC be granted more money to go after spyware, as there are other new evolved and more malicious considerations to worry about on the average computer now? Should the Federal Trade Commission receive additional monies to further increase their spyware endeavors? Or has the American People had enough of the government and their spying? Consider this in 2006. |
