Spyware = Virus
Despite what the article claims... spyware IS a virus. I don't install cutesy themes on my computer or anything which would invite this malware, yet I still wind up with spyware on my computer. I didn't ask this to be installed on my computer. I certainly didn't request anyone to monitor my surfing activities. Why would I want someone to remotely monitor my keystrokes while I'm banking online? As it is now I have to run Ad-Aware before I do any banking just to TRY to be safe. I still don't understand why this capability is built into Internet Explorer nor why Norton Antivirus doesn't stop it. The writers of this filth need to do hard time.
