- From the ashes of COAST
- A new coalition of antispyware companies, called the Anti-Spyware Coalition, has formed, and I think it has a decent chance of success. It won't suffer the fate of COAST because it's not going to admit adware makers as members, limiting groups that can be members to antispyware companies, consumer watchdogs,...

- CNET Download.com is hosting an antispyware workshop tomorrow, in San Francisco, and the attendee list includes some major names in this field.

- Rogues are easy to spot
- I was sent some interesting screenshots of pop-up advertisements for antispyware apps delivered via 180Search. The pop-ups were triggered at various Web sites, including PC-Tools, maker of Spyware Doctor, Google, and even Download.com. I detect various conflicts of interest. First, what legitimate antispyware app would use spyware to advertise itself?...

- Spyware obstacle course
- We revisited our Spyware Obstacle Course, running six antispyware contenders against eight pieces of spyware. We ran our first Spyware Obstacle Course last November, and Spybot took the win out of a field of five. In the four interceding months, antispyware apps have grown a little more refined. This time...

The company, named MaxTheater, was responsible for Spyware Assassin, a utility that had been listed on Spyware Warrior's rogue antispyware product list since July of last year. The FTC will be holding an...

- For whom the bell tolls
- Bill Gates announced at the RSA conference this week that Microsoft would offer its new antispyware product for free. It currently is free, but that was supposed to change sometime this summer.

- Antivirus to antispyware
- I've just been looking at McAfee's new antispyware product, called, modestly enough, McAfee AntiSpyware. And maybe a modest title is appropriate for this utility. It seems to work okay, but it's nothing to write home about. But first I want to say, it's about time that veteran security companies got...

- Microsoft takes on spyware
- I recently wrote about CounterSpy, a fairly new antispyware utility from Sunbelt Software. I wasn't aware Sunbelt licensed the code base and definition file from Giant Company Software under a co-ownership deal. The story gets more interesting because Microsoft just acquired Giant Company Software. Sunbelt insists its licensing rights are...

- Apple: Mac users should run multiple anti-virus
- One of Apple's better Mac vs PC ads features a strong message that Windows computers are a magnet for viruses malware but Macs are automatically protected. As PC "ah-choos" his way through an infection, Mac offers a tissue and smugly infers that he's immune to the...
