Washington Attorney General Files Second Case Under Spyware Law - Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna this week announced that he had sued four California companies for violating Washington's 2005 anti-spyware law. According to the complaint, the defendants install difficult-to-remove software on victims' computers that barrages them with payment demands for a movie download service. The lawsuit is the second filed under Washington's Computer Spyware Act. Enforcement is a key prong in the war against spyware and unwanted adware. A recent CDT report detailed enforcement efforts at the federal and state levels. August 15, 2006
