From Yahoo! News:
“A software vendor that tried to drum up sales by offering to clean up nonexistent computer ’spyware’ has been temporarily shut down, U.S. regulators said on Friday.
The makers of Spyware Assassin tried to scare consumers into buying software through pop-up ads and e-mail that warned their computers had been infected with malicious monitoring software, the Federal Trade Commission said.”
