Sentencing in the so-called 'Spyware Teacher' case has been delayed - for the third time.
40-year-old Julie Amero was to be sentenced in a Connecticut court today (April 26). The case will now be heard May 18.
This time around it was the Assistant State Attorney who prosecuted the case asking for a continuance. David J. Smith wrote, "The state has not completed a full examination of all the issues which may affect its position at the sentencing hearing".
IT Security just notified us they have included Ad-Aware SE Personal in their list of "Top 103 Free Security Applications".
We just want to point out that we made the top of the anti-spyware software list - which, by the way - is NOT alphabetical!
Thanks IT Security!

Hackers and phishers are giving tax payers another reason to dread tax season. Stressing out about filing your taxes on time may seem like a lot to deal with, but for those filing returns online, there are even more concerns.
To all of us who have been the victims of spyware, it's blaringly clear that more needs to be done to penalize spyware distributors. Many in the security industry have called for consensus anti-spyware legislation in order to fully hold distributors accountable for their actions, and to deter spyware vendors from violating consumers' privacy.
