Spy Games, 2.0

In this earlier post I began a discussion of the problem of spyware on computers and actions taken by the Feds to slow them down.

A few minutes ago I noticed this AP articleon Yahoo. It's a great overview of the problem of spyware and the challenges in attacking them. While I'll have more commentary later, rest assured that if you are so complacent as to think you're perfectly ok surfing the web (with or without anti-virus software protection), you're sorely mistaken. It has almost reached a point where with the exception of a few major websites, almost everything else has some spyware ready to be installed.
