Spyware 'scammer' sued over PC pop-up invasion Channel Register
the company caused some people surfing the net to receive a torrent of pop-ups that advertised porn links and other sketchy sites ...With end users' nerves rattled by the mysterious pop-ups, the company would then send out a new batch of notifications that were designed to look like official Windows alerts. They warned that the computer was vulnerable to malware attacks and directed the end user to reduce the threat by installing one of the software titles.
As with anything else, know who it is you're buying from, and do a little research first. I use consumer search as a consolidated review page - it's a pretty easy read, and a great place to start. Looking at it today for spyware - I see Webroot, and Panda as their top two recommendations. that sounds about right!
