I think we are at a point where we cannot really distinguish between virus or spyware or scareware or whatever. Virus have already started doing what spyware doing a couple years ago. I mean, it sounds just pointless that we distinguish them. Bad program is a bad program. It does not matter what we call it. Guys at StopBadware came up with a good term a few years ago. It's a badware. It does not matter to the end user what it does!

Symantec (and McAfee) is much worse. For starters, it's not inobtrusive like other scareware.

The summary is just stupid. I mean when you use a botnet to collect all that credentials, wont you naturally use the same botnet to check them? All that blabber about options was just pointless on so many levels.

Now Great!! Way to get slashdot banned too!! *fumes*
