| Article Title :: Gain (Gator) – The Virus |
| |
| It just amazes me how there are companies out there, claiming to be legitimate businesses, who are distributing what can only be known as spyware, adware, malware, badware, and viruses. These companies get away with it due to obscure clauses and legal double-speak in their terms of agreements, if they bother to have one at all.
Some websites will download unwanted spyware and badware on your computer without any consent from you at all. They claim that all of this information gathering has a legitimate purpose and that people are over-reacting.
Some people do not know what a virus is. It is simply a program. Just like any other program you download and use everyday. (read full article) |
