people that write spyware (expecially those that wrote coolwebsearch and about:blank) should be publicly executed

This happens so often. Why don't the poilticos ask a few people who know something about the subject?

Or people could be smart with their internet and computers instead of waiting for fedgov to take care of them. Just another piece of useless legislation on the books so the people will feel "safer" while online.

You know what hardware & software would cost with ~95% of computer users (the inept) gone?

I've got hardware, and software is free.
