As long-time readers know, I‘ve written several articles in the past about spyware and adware, those nasty little devils we pick up on the Internet that infect your computer just as badly as viruses. They can and do, in some cases, wreak havoc on your computer and slow your computing down to a crawl. Unfortunately, being infected with these products is the price we pay for using the Internet.
Currently, it is mostly legal to infect your computer with this kind of hidden software. But who is behind these nefarious software products? It may (or may not) surprise you to learn that behind the scenes of the hackers and whackers of virus and spyware software are not just criminal-types, but some of the largest corporations in America. PC World Magazine recently published an in-depth investigative report on the subject entitled, The Hidden Money Trail, and it is a MUST read.
