I can't say that I disagree at all with your tone, but if they say they
aren't going to be sneaky anymore, shouldn't we wait and see whether they
are still sneaky, rather than pre-judging them based on past performance?
 
Nope. I prefer to prejudge the bastards.

To say that we must not judge by past
experiences....shouldn't we then set all murderers and
preditors free? After all, aren't we judging them for
something they did in the past??
For me, these companies need to understand that we stopped
them from calling our homes because we are tired of the
tactics used by them. Now we try to stop them on the net
and they are all crying about it. Is it not enough that a
magazine is 3/4 ads? Is it not enough that every skyline
is littered with their signs and slogans? It's really
very simple, if we want your products...(or the products
that you are advertising) we'll come ask for them. Until
then, leave us alone!

ps: for the record, I'd like to know if these companies
allow sales calls to them? somehow...I bet they do not.
Perhaps if they were inundated with them as we are, they
would see the importance of making them GO AWAY!
 
Interesting simile.

We do allow murderers and other criminals to go free after they have "paid
their price to society"--i.e. served whatever sentence is handed down by the
justice system.

So--for older claria/gator stuff, the "sentence" has been detection and
removal as spyware by a variety of vendors and products.

If Gator/Claria is truly reformed, and is not installed without informed
consent, labels their ads clearly as to the source, and has an ininstall
that is just as easy as, say, Microsoft Office--what legal standing does an
antispyware product have to list their software for removal?

I agree completely with your sentiments about ads. There are far too many
of them, and they are a form of pollution. OTOH, I'm seeing a lot of
valuable resources without paying a cent to the providers, courtesy of some
of those ads.

Sentiments and philosophy aside--there are real legal issues that need to
underpin antispyware work these days--the bad guys are well funded and can
afford good legal muscle--so the antispyware vendors need to be on solid
ground in their detections and actions.
