In fact, ... I'd love to see us finance parts of the gov't w/massive fines from these and the spammer a-holes.
Well, that.. and perhaps public-stonings for any company that sends unsolicited spam.

Perhaps Zango surreptitiously installed some loopholes into the agreement.

So they pay a fine but they reformulate as an offshore corporation and get back to work. Our government needs to put them in a Club Fed Pokey at their own expense, or they can go to a state prision and get what they've been doing to us for the last 10 years.

Zango crime by New victim on Nov 5th, 2006 @ 6:46pm
Got a new laptop, and these bastard found their way in and I can't get rid of them. I am not that savy in computer to find out how to un-install or delete their directories.
Any help is appreciated

A fine on these people is not enough. It is no more than a slap on the hand to them. The abusers online need to spend some time in jail. Then hit them with fines that make them cry.
I am worried that most of the spyware vendors, and so on will leave the Country, and head to places that either don't care, or don't have the resources to stop them.
Many give up on their computers, and either sell them, or give them to other family members because of the malware online.
It use to be you could take about a month to learn enough about computers, and you could go ahead and purchase it, and learn as you go.
You can't do that anymore. Now days, you have to have full security software on your computer, and you have to know enough in order to run the software. Or your computer can be compromised within minutes of going online.
