Spam & Spyware

Looking for an tobic to blog on, i came across this article 'Bill Gates gets millions of spam daily' in MSNBC To be more exact more than 4 million.

What does it say...just that Internet has become a painful community to come forward and say who you are. Or the least of all leave your contacts to make friends.

Another one of the woes of browsing with you computer is the Spyware. It is worse than cancer and kills your computer. I am scared to do any financial transactions on the web and its a daily ritual of scanning your computer every day for spywares and still worried that they might be still there recording all you do.

In a way the news that Bill Gates and Ballmer gets so many junk is kind of funny and reminds you that you are not the only one there. Hope this is a lesson that the products they make are more stable and robust and gives little leeway for these spyware and spam companies to make your internet experience a miserable one.

Another this this reminds me of was an article on CNN A spyware mystery: Who's behind it? which makes you wonder who actually is behind it. Is it the same companies that are trying to sell as the spyware blockers and cleaners.
All this ambiguity is making one paranoid. But i guess that is part of the life
