Silicon Valley AdWare Company’s Latest Tricks

Silicon Valley AdWare Company’s Latest Tricks The energetic Ben Edelman has uncovered new outrages from a company called Claria, which makes one of the obnoxious “adware” products that finds its way onto PCs. The click through “agreement” is just abysmal, Edelman observes. Quote:

“You agree that you will not use, or encourage others to use, any unauthorized means for the removal of the GAIN AdServer, or any GAIN-Supported Software from a computer.”
Sheesh. To put it mildly.
