Stopping Spyware!

Help us get a handle on the scope of the scourge in Canada! CIPPIC is calling on Canadians to send us your spyware horror stories! Here's what we need: - what is the name of the spyware program (if you know it)? - what website infected you (again, if you know where you got it)? - what does the spyware do to your computer? - what does your anti-spyware software report about the spyware? Send an email to cippic@uottawa.ca with "Stop Spyware" in the subject line, and your name, location and affiliation (if any) in the message. We won't disclose your personal information without your consent. We plan on using these stories to help us better inform the Canadian government on the scope of Canada's spyware, and in appropriate cases and with your permission, to file complaints with Canadian authorities.
