Anti-Spyware Coalition Releases Definition of Spyware

The Anti-Spyware Coalition (ASC), a coalition of technology companies and consumer groups, has released a uniform definition of "spyware" and accompanying glossary for public comment. The coalition hopes its efforts will ultimately help all users understand why some programs on their computers may be identified as unwanted and help them make educated decisions about removing or blocking those programs. CIPPIC is an active member of the ASC. - ASC definition of "spyware" - ASC press release - ASC website
