No Spyware and Adware Laws

To:  US Congress

Owning a computer is just like owning any other valuable. When someone damages your property it is considered a crime. When adware and spyware are involuntarily placed on your computer it damages the performance and can make your computer virtually unusable.

What is Spyware and Adware?
Spyware and Adware is software made by publishers that allow them to snoop on your browsing activity, invade your privacy, and flood you with those horrible popups. If you are like most users on the internet, chances are you are probably infected with these applications.
Why does Spyware and Adware affect every internet user?
· All information you enter via the web can be intercepted
· Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your desktop (icons)
· Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your internet favorites
· Your browsing activity can be tracked and monitored
· Unwanted toolbars and searchbars can attach themselves to your browser without your knowledge or approval
· Your personal information can be sold to other parties without your knowledge or consent
· Your default homepage and settings can be hijacked so you can't
change them
· These malicious components not only invade your PC so they can not be removed, but take up your hard drive space and slow down your PC!

So why do we allow companies to keep making spyware and adware? The government should stop spyware and adware so browsing the internet is no longer something that you have to fear.

If you would like to see adware and spyware stopped, Please sign this Petition and let your voice be heard.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
