Yahoo Funding Spyware?
An independent spyware analyst is accusing Yahoo of supporting spyware companies by distributing Yahoo Search Marketing ads to them.

Consultant Ben Edelman faulted Yahoo for not letting its advertisers know where their ads might end up.

"We know people pay very high pay-per-click fees when they think they're getting traffic from Yahoo, because advertisers think Yahoo users are more valuable," Edelman told internetnews.com. "Whatever their value actually is, advertisers who are buying the stuff should be told what they're getting."

Adware is free ad-supported software that users can download at no charge. But in his blog, Edelman documented how the software is installed without clear notification.

Usualy spyware and adware supported software is beeing installed with user permission, but the only problem is that EULA is not beeing read before installation

While many times some users are to blame for not reading the EULA. There are confirmed cases where things are being inserted with no knowledge at all to the end user. This is one of the serious problems. People screaming protect me from this type of thing. The fact is it is a danger and one that companies are working hard to do. Though it is a bit like mission impossible.
