Mark Russinovich has posted another excellent article on Spyware, this time pointing out the anti-spyware program as spyware strategem.

If you hoped that Spyware would just go out of fashion sometime this year, you are deluded.  The advent of better Rootkits, bogus anti-spyware programs (like the ones Mark points to) and the underlying profit makes this the cocaine of the Internet.  The problem is that all the victims are truly innocent in this case.

I want to thank my buddy Dan Krhla (DanK) for pointing it out for me.  He is a very good source of what is good on the Internet.
