Please write your Representatives about these spyware (scumware) Privacy
Invading companies to put a stop to this
At the end of this email is a link to download a program free of charge to scan
your hardrive(s) for all known Spyware and most of you will
hopefully be shocked at what it finds sitting there (unknown to you) sending
information about your surfing habits to these companies, i.e.,
What websites you visit, what you buy, litterally ever thing you do on the
internet is sent back to the "Privacy Invading" spyware companies!!!
Also, if any of you are using Gator software for filling forms, Uninstall it,
it is FULL of spyware!!! I use a form filling program that is better than
Gator and RESPECTS my privacy. Just email me and I'll send you that link.

Re: Spyware - Invasion of Privacy
I have a question concerning spyware being put on someones computer without
that persons KNOWLEDGE or CONSENT and yet, when it
comes to emails (which is NOT concealed from the recipient unlike spyware),
Congress passes laws against sending emails to someone
"without that persons permission" but does nothing about scum/privacy invading
companies like the one below placing cookies on a private
citizens computer to "SPY" on their Internet surfing??? Why doesn't your
office or one of our branches of government do something about this
"Invasion of Privacy" practice???
Respectfully,
Mark

In closing, if the above information doesn't "clearly" convey "Invasion of
Privacy" on private citizens, then the "Invasion of Privacy" policy is a
farce!
I scanned a friends computer yesterday using a spyware program and found 88!!!
different spyware cookies on his hard drive.
Thank You for your time,
Mark
