We have to start treating these "spyware" trojans with the same level of violence that we employ against worms, viruses and other trojans. Showing porn is bad, but what if i have one of these trojans quietly stealing ids and passwords, doing nothing to reveal its presence in my computer?

The fact that these trojans are getting smarter is disquieting. For years i've relied on Ad-aware to keep my systems spyware-free, but i'm hearing more and more reports of removal-resistant trojans.
