If anyone can bring down a company that’s up to no good, it’s New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. In a suit filed this morning in New York City, the fierce Spitzer alleges that Intermix Media installed spyware and adware onto unsuspecting PCs, and then plagued users with annoying pop-ups that inhibit productivity. Spitzer is quoted in The New York Times article: Spyware and adware are more than an annoyance. These fraudulent programs foul machines, undermine productivity and in many cases frustrate consumers’ efforts to remove them from their computers. These issues can serve to be a hindrance to the growth of e-commerce. Spitzer has successfully gone after Wall Street and the insurance industry and recently has been taking a harder look at Internet companies, the story said. Spitzer, by the by, also has his own blog: Spitzer 2006. He is using the blog and RSS as tools in his gubernatorial campaign. The link I provided is just a link, and neither advocates nor opposes Spitzer’s bid. Technology Industry
