There has been ongoing debate surrounding two dueling spyware bills, the Spy Act and I-Spy, which have been making their way through the U.S. Congress.
The U.S. FBI has released news that its "Operation Bot Roast" has identified over one million victim computer IP addresses being used in criminal activity. The arrest of three men accused of using the army of hijacked computers for spam related crime was also announced.
Just in time for Microsofts monthly security patch release, online scammers have been sending out fake security alerts by e-mail, in an attempt to install malware onto computer users' PCs, reports say.
The e-mail message promises a "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" but actually hides a Trojan. Clicking the link to download the "update" will take you to a server that attempts to install a malicious executable file.

A Connecticut, USA judge has granted a new trial for the so-called "Spyware Teacher" Julie Amero, who was facing up to 40 years behind bars after being convicted of exposing students to pornography on a classroom computer.
According to reports, the computer that had been the subject of debate in the trial was sent to a state laboratory following the trial, and those findings may contradict the testimony that had been presented by a state computer expert.
