Spyware Is Everywhere
Internet Week > Spyware > Spyware Is Everywhere > June 21, 2004
According to Earthlink and Webroot nearly 1 in 3 computers are infected with Spyware. That is certainly a significant amount. They classify spyware as any software or application put on a machine without the users permission - so this would include anything from Trojans to adware cookies. I also wonder whether Earthlink/Webroot might be inflating the significance to sell more of their own anti-spyware software. Still, it emphasizes the need to be alert.
