Spam King Agrees to Stop the Spyware

Finally! One for the people! Standford Wallace aka the "Spam King" has agreed to stop infecting PCs with spyware under an agreement made with the FTC (at least until the lawsuit against him is resolved.) According to the FTC, he not only overwhelmed people’s computers with spyware, he also tried to then sell people programs to remove the junk - programs that the government says "do not work." For now, he is only allowed to send ads to people who visit his websites. No trial date has been set yet…and let me add, please hold off on setting it for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE! I hope that the ruling that comes down sends this man to JAIL.
