In news that should surprise absolutely none of you, it appears that the people who used to write viruses for ego purposes are increasingly writing spyware for money instead. Basically, what the study (bias alert: done by a security company who's trying to sell you stuff) points out is that, just like with file sharing applications, spyware and adware have become a business model for virus writers. They're wrapping up their viruses with spyware; they still get the ego boost, but also some profit as well. No wonder virus companies are desperately trying to come up with decent anti-spyware offerings.

A lot of malware has been going around lately, some of it preventing you from visiting the actual Google website, or putting up a notice when you try to visit. The most common reason for this is spyware or malware -- software that's included with other programs and stows away in your computer watching what you're doing, popping up ads, and doing other bad things. To get rid of it, you can install LavaSoft's Ad-Aware or Spybot Search and Destroy. Both are free but neither me nor Google are recommending either....

IDefense Inc., a Reston, Va., computer security company, said the malicious code is the latest example of so-called social engineering to fool Windows users. It is similar to the W32Swen worm, which last year passed itself off as a Microsoft patch.
