Spyware Illegal?

Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor wants to stop spyware and by introducing a bill to make it illegal, according to InformationWeek. Other measures have been tried and passed in the U.S. House of Representatives but it is doubtful the measure will go through and become law. Sen. Pryor sites the many different types of spyware and how it slows computer, installs itself without user's knowledge and is hard to remove.

Dallas Computer Repair doubts the measure will pass the House and the Senate with groups like The Information Technology Association of America who has opposed similar legislation in the past.
