Smile Great digest Jack!

This is good stuff Jack! Some sites provide too much similar news, but you've managed to achieve the right balance. When's the newsletter due to begin syndication?

Spyware such as Gator, BonziBUDDY, and Comet Cursor is often surreptitiously bundled with freeware and shareware software that users download from the Internet, and is commonly found in popular peer-to-peer programs, such as KaZaa, BearShare, AudioGalaxy, and others. In the most malicious cases, spyware can perform non-marketing operations, all hidden to the user, including data collection for industrial espionage purposes.
Another reason I can't wait for my Mandrake CDs. Linux is practically immune to virii and trojans if you set it up correctly and aren't constantly logged in as root. No spyware either.
