Spyware Cleaner
A lawsuit was filed today in Western Washington US District Court against New York based Secure Computer naming their company President Paul E. Burke and their affiliates that their application “Spyware Cleaner” falsely reports spyware being on a user’s computer. They are accussed of using aggressive marketing pitches to convince a user that they had spyware on their computer. It gets even better because the suit was brought on by the Microsoft Corporation because the company gave the impression that Microsoft endorsed their product.
Washington is one of many states that now has a “Spyware Act”. If the company is found guity, they can be facing penalties of $100,000 per incident, as well as penalties under their “CAN-SPAM” act that can amount to $250.00 per violation.
This once again shows that you must do your homework before purchasing a spyware removal program. Check up on the company by seeing how long they have been in existance and if they have a good history with their customers.
