Tracking down Spyware Spreaders;)
In a very fascinating article, this author provides a video (wmv format - ick) of live spyware installations through IE/Windows. The author reveals some interesting facts like pay-per-install rates and suggests a way of tracking these people down.
Yes, the author says that IE/WindowsXP-SP2 isn't vulnerable to what he's showing... provided the user is using all the security features.
And, of course... there are other examples of spyware that he didn't test.
But I think the article is interesting nonetheless...
What do you think?
