What I've Said
10-May-09 10:35am The fact that it was ever legal to install spyware,adware or malware of any type without the users knowledge is pretty surprising. That fact, more than likely has a lot to do with the fact that identity theft is so rampant in the USA. A good friend of mine was a victim of identity theft that was a result of spyware installed on her computer without her knowing it. She is just a casual computer user that had no idea about that kind of stuff. I think this bill will help protect many people from this malicious crime, especially people that are not really savvy in the use of computers. I helped her remove all of the spyware on her computer and there was a lot of it. It was actually very scary. She had over 400 malicious programs installed on to her computer. Aside from the dangers of identity theft, it was making her computer so slow that it was almost useless! I tried many spyware removal software programs out there, only to discover that some of them even installed spyware-adware on the computer. It seems that you have to be really careful in what you choose to perform these functions. The spyware removal program that seemed to work the best was at www.SpywareBlockersInc.com I was able to remove pretty much everything with their software. I was very impressed with all of the extra features they include at no additional charge. Anyway, my advice to everyone out there is b every careful about what you install on your computer, as that is the easiest way for these malicious programs to e installed on to your computer. At least until this billis passed. Which it should certainly be. From Senate committee passes spyware bill
