Letter: Spotting spyware

Published 24 July 2004

From Mike Norton-Griffiths

Your article on spyware was timely (26 June, p 24). I immediately downloaded Spybot Search-and-Destroy and found 38 of the damn things on my machine, now eradicated. Not only does my computer now run faster, but the number of spam emails I receive has dropped from around 25 a day to one or two.
