Yahoo's Offers New Anti-Spyware Tool...

Yahoo's Offers New Anti-Spyware Tool...
That Actually Finds Spyware 08/05/2004 03:50 AM
It appears that Yahoo heard the backlash loud and clear a few months back when they released an anti-spyware tool that just so happened to skip over adware from Yahoo partners. The latest version, built on PestPatrol's technology will now default to notifying users of both "spyware" and what they consider to be "adware" and then give the user the choice of what to do. I haven't tested the product yet, but it sounds like they're moving in the right direction. It still makes you wonder what they were thinking in offering a purposely crippled offering. People know what spyware is, and telling them that spyware isn't spyware doesn't change how people feel about it. It also doesn't make them look kindly back at the company that provided them with the bogus anti-spyware tool in the first place.

Between Good And Bad Spyware 05/19/2004 12:03 PM
Google has been a bit worried that new spyware legislation will include things that could make their IE toolbar (and possibly other new Google doodads) illegal. Realizing that the debate doesn't seem to be going anywhere, they've tried to put together a list of generally accepted practices of what companies shouldn't do in creating software that may be considered spyware. While some may disagree with some of the points on the list, it probably is a good thing to get it written down just as a starting point for debate.

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...
