Is iSearch Scumware, er Spyware, er, Malware? Yes, to all three. last night my wife skimmed over one of their applets by mistake, it instantly loaded, caused 30, yes, 30 pop-ups to jam the screen. I tried to close them and even more popped up. I had to shut the computer off. Adaware only found part of it. I downloaded CounterSpy which found 1800 registry entries, programs, etc. I deleted them all and then the computer wouldn’t work. I started it in Safemode, ran a scan again and after three reboots, it finally worked. On top of that the computer was running like a dog. I would most certainly say that it is not the spybot type programs that damage the “reputation” of iSearch and their ilk, but their own actions that ruin their reputation.

Don’t buy the BS that some geeks with no lives spout that the user should be aware of what they are agreeing to. Give me a break.

Funny but didn’t I read in the US Patriot act that it’s illegal to take over someone elseâs computer through the internet?.. By running unrequested processes on a websites visitors’ pc, they are doing just that. I believe it’s classified generically as “international terrorism”..

So come on US Gov’t – go after them as hard as you to p2p’ers… Would be funny to see what websites various agencies go to after being infected with this spyware….. it’s a security hole for any system infected..

*Federal Prison, make room for iSearch’s owners*

Thank you for correct us it isn’t Malware but a good old Virus!

An application that is not installed willingly,
that does not do what it says
or that change the way your computer works without informing the user
should be labeled spyware and a few other things.

Anyone trying to prevent accurate information
from being reported should be sued for harassment.

But maybe they’d prefer to be called evilware?
