government control

Ok with all the recent spyware/popup shit going around, here's my take on it. To me i feel that spyware, is an invasion of privacy. In all actuality, what is really happeneing is that somebody (er company) is putting things onto your computer which is your personal possession. That would be as if i went up to someone's car and changed the hubcaps on it, to give you a weird analogy. Popups are another form of sleezball advertisement., it's right up there with the wonderful telemarketers who call you at 8:59 on a sunday night.

IMO i think that the government should control this. Its out of hand. Afterall i know they put limitations on telemarketers, i feel that the should make pop ups illegal, and consider any type of spyware a virus, and deal the appropriate consequences to the programer. That's just my take, after deleting 5 programs that i didn't download that caused my internet explorer to not work.
