Ah, the glory that is GAIN publishing. Self-installing useless programs that come with spyware and hijackers attached.
Don't you just love them?
My question is this. If I announced that I was gathering a patchwork army of disgruntled Internet users who were determined to make a violent example of spyware companies and storm their headquarters, breaking the law and taking lives... or to just write angry petitions to courts to have such practices illegal...
What kind of gun would you carry?
Seriously, though. I've considered declaring my hard drive premium advertising space and require a $200 fee for each software item installed on the computer, and sending these people a bill every time GAIN or Gator-related software shows up on my PC, eventually taking them to court once they owe me over $10,000... That should take a week or so. I often fantasize about the courtroom scene...
And for those who might ask...
Yes, I have Spybot and AdAware.
Yes, I run them daily.
Yes, I have things immunized.
The fact of the matter remains that I am sharing this computer with people who don't know how to protect themselves against spyware. I just needed to blow off some steam.
(And if anyone wants to lead the team in while I sit in a safe command chair, get in touch with me and we'll have a huge army within the week.)
DISCLAIMER: The above post was a joke, for the most part. I am not issuing a call to violence.
