Yahoo! Toolbar Now With Anti-Spyware

Yahoo! Toolbar Now With Anti-Spyware 05/27/2004 10:42 AM
The previously mentioned secret alpha test was for the just announced upgrade to the Yahoo! Toolbar which now contains anti-spyware code. I have to say, this one of those ideas that was immediately obvious upon hearing it. "Of *course* we should use the Toolbar as a way to help poor Windows users get all that crap off their machines." But at the same time it's amazing how many folks never came up with it on their own, me included. Congrats...

FTC, Congress Fight Over Spyware

FTC, Congress Fight Over Spyware 04/29/2004 04:25 PM
As was expecte d, the FTC came out today against anti-spyware bills that have been introduced in Congress leading the bill's supporters to angrily attack the FTC officials: "You like this stuff? You're the only person in this country that wants spyware on their computer." The FTC's argument, of course, is not that they like spyware, but the fear that any definition of spyware is going to include plenty of legitimate programs as well. The problem is that no one has yet come up with a piece of legitimate software that falls under the definition discussed in various pieces of legislation. It always pays to be a bit wary of legislation like this, so I don't fault the FTC, but the reasons presented so far don't make much sense.
