CDT, StopBadware.org File Joint Spyware Complaint - CDT this week joined with StopBadware.org in urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to shut down a dangerous spyware scam site. In a joint complaint, CDT and StopBadware.org describe how FastMP3Search.com.ar self-executes the installation of adware and Trojan horse applications, disables security software, sabotages valid web addresses for legitimate security companies, changes homepage settings, and severely impairs computer speed and performance, all without user consent. The complaint is the first filed jointly by the two organizations. December 07, 2006
