Re: America Today

Well, the folks - like Yahoo, which uses Claria - that keep the bozos that produce the spy/adware outfits in business and then act "shocked, SHOCKED" that anyone would harass innocent folks that way are at least partially responsible.

The amount of stuff out there, the way it is written, the difficulty in deleting it are as obnoxious as anything I've encountered. It isn't just making a buck, it's harassment and ought to be illegal. If it was then legit outfits wouldn't be able to fund it on the sly.
