CNET – Spyware Free
This policy is long overdue, but CNET has finally announced a zero-tolerance policy for “adware” (spyware). The old policy was to prohibit spyware bundling unless it was “disclosed” (buried in a EULA you had to pretend to read while installing it). The new policy: if it has bundled “adware,” it’s not available at DOWNLOAD.COM. Good.
Suzi gives CNET three cheers. I’ll give them 2 1/2, as they are not a dollar short, but they are more than a day late. Still, better late than never.
