It truly seems that every time I log into my computer and open internet explorer there are excessive advertising and pop up's on just about every site. A Florida district court ruled recently on a case in which spy ware was downloaded onto a persons computer without any true form of consent by the user themselves.
Allegedly Spy ware uses some type of key logger system where the current FTC act was being violated and in-turn a lawsuit was filed. It seems that courts need to begin trying internet based cases in larger volume and need to establish some type of better laws to ensure ones safety and privacy while in cyberland and until this occurs there will be many more suits filed in a similar manner to this one. The article goes on to say that this keylogger software is used by some government agencies, however it does breech ones privacy and truly hinders the development in fraud protection.
