When Spyware Crosses the Line
Kelly Martin, 2004-06-23

"Spyware" isn't harmless software when it starts hijacking your browser, downloading updates, and displaying adult porn images to small children.

well these spyware are verry dangerous not that only change your IE content it also changes you the backgroud of your cpu adding html content, what can you do... they have multiple programs runing when you are infected and you can do nothing against them eventualy, momentanely, you don't even see them in processes and you can edit registry and still can't do nothing against it, i had a spyware with a dialer, i removed the trojan, but the dialer remained i could'nt do nothing against it at time he destroyed all the setting that i had to conect to internet to my network, i could'nt reinstal the network so i had to reinstal windows, how can they do something like this... all for money ? now i got some activex blocker,,, still i want to see what will happen because ,i had manny spyware some were closing the processes and you couldn't see nothing... but that was an easy one i was succesfull to remove it, but them came tougher and tougher, on some you don't know what to do... so the spyware is exaclty as dangerous as virii...
