Reynolds to Neopets: Clean Up Your Act
Glenn Reynolds on the adware infecting PCs through websites targeted at children: "Message to the folks at NeoPets: Clean up your act" (While I'm Wishing Gas Gangrene on Zarqawi). Quoting SecurityPipeline (Adware Targets Kids):
Children were the biggest target for spyware makers, by far. The trip to several kids' sites installed a whopping 359 pieces of adware on Symantec's PCs, five times more than the nearest category rival, travel. Popup ads proliferated on the machines after that, making them virtually unusable.
