   Class Action Lawsuits Against Sneaky Install Adwar

   
   DirecTV was recently fined something like 5 million dollars because on of their marketing companies was ignoring "do not call" lists. Companies need to be held responsible for ANY "agent" acting on their behalf. This should also include any spammer emailing using "free $500 walmart card", or "get a free ipod" etc etc etc.

   Class Action Suits against Sneaky Adware

   I agree with your statement that this type of suit rarely compensates the victim in a fair and equitable manner. However, most of us cannot afford to fight these companies alone and in this case I support the class action suit. We need to stop these criminals. Especially the lastest one "SpyAxe" that is nothing more than organized crime. They attack your PC, then extort money to solve your problem. Sounds like a mafia type of thing to me.

   FORCED ADVERTISING

   What about those sites that force you to view a add, like surf side kick. It seems they dont allow you to view the site without viewing the add. In some cases, even when your fed up and leave the site because of the adds that keep popping up, you get yet another ad that you must wait for before getting completely away... and a few of them that I have seen, try to trick you into thinking something is wrong with your computer, to download a bigger problem onto your computer. If you ask me I dont think they should be allowed to force advertiseing to the public, I know that I am definately not going to buy anything from a popup.

   Excuse ME sir, but the Mafia does not exist.
   Moreover, if it did exist, the mafia would be nothing but a respectable orginization of independant business investors and venture capitalists.

   I am glad to see that a point I submitted actually made it in the main article, the one about how victims are rarely compensated. I mean think about it, if someone calls you on the do not call list, and you report it to the goverment... If something actually does happen and that company does get sued, the money just goes to the government anyways. And I was actually going to this article in hopes of seeing somebody on the defensive side of these companies. I would just love to see them get ripped apart. But dont let that stop anyone from expressing your true opinions....

    I agree. I got raped by Spyaxe while reading about Windows at Wikipedia. It took me hours and $50 to remove it and I'm not sure its all been removed as my computer is much slower and there are still problem areas. I would love to join a lawsuit against them.

    I completely agree. How do these people get away with such things? Surely some government organisation should be tracking these people down and putting a stop to their sick doings?! I hope the people behind "SpyAxe" rot in hell!!!
