speaking of spyware, does anyone know of any free software that can detect and
easily remove spybots?
Thanks!

Please show your support for this bill by writing your representatives and
senators.
Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 29, the "Securely
Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass Act," dubbed the SPY ACT. The bill was
introduced by Congresswoman Mary Bono (R-CA) and cosponsored by Congressman
Greg Walden (R-OR). The SPY ACT prohibits practices such as hijacking a
consumer's homepage and keystroke logging. Under the SPY ACT the Federal Trade
Commission would have the authority to enforce financial penalties for those
who knowingly violate the Act. Additionally, the House passed H.R. 744, the
"Internet Spyware Protection Act," which would penalize, through fines or
prison sentences, violators who use spyware to steal information, damage a
computer or commit fraud.
