We have all faced it. Spyware on our PCs is getting to be a bigger problem each day as the heathen’s that live in the underbelly of the internet search for new ways to steal our personal information.

Earthlink just released stats saying that scans of its user’s computers revealed that average user had multiple “spyware installations” – 28 per computer on average.

That’s interesting, and not because it shows the extent and reach of spyware. If Earthlink was scanning their customer’s computers for spyware (even if it was trying to help them remove them) and recording that information and sending it back to Earthlink, doesn’t that qualify as spyware, also?
