Spitzer may get my vote! He is now going after adware firms that "secretly install spyware on millions of home computers". He is accusing firms of "deceptive business practices" and "trespass under New York common law".

This action makes me say "where is the NC Attorney General?" It is amazing how much effort has gone into shutting down Napster and other file sharing programs relative to the amount of effort spent to shut down spammers, hackers and others who abuse the internet.

Two cheers for Mr. Spitzer. It always seems to be true that there are plenty of laws available to help society but lax enforcement of them.
