The Anti-Spyware Coalition (ASC), a group of IT companies and public interest organizations, is hoping to succeed where a previous organization fell short in dealing with the problem of spyware. The ASC has released a draft definition of spyware it hopes will bring on public comment and result in users being better educated about the dangers of spyware.A previous organization, the Consortium of Anti-Spyware Technology Vendors (Coast), with members primarily from the security software vendor community, failed to deal with member’s conflicting goals. The ASC is asking for public comment on documents it has released, such as a list of spyware, a glossary defining commonly used terms relating to spyware and advice on how to protect against spyware.
