Have you been or are you a victim of agressive spyware pushers? You know the sort, all of a sudden your desktop gets hijacked or you get mad pop ups telling you that your system is infected and the only way to deal with it is to buy their program.
I'm talking about the likes of Spyaxe, Winfixer, SpywareStrike and so on.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but our very own Nick has waging a campaign to get people to complain about this, after all, a crime is being committed. You can see what he has to say about it in his blog Fight Back Against Spyaxe

He asked if there was some similar organisation in the UK to the FTC in America... I've looked into this and there doesn't seem to be. This prompted me to get in touch with my Member of Parliament who I saw today.

See here for my write up about it.
So as you see, to carry Nicks campaign forward I need people to comment to my blog... or to post in the new room that ChrisRLG has created at MRU... guests can post.

I specifically need information and comments from UK citizens... but anyone who wants to can stand up and be counted. So please post a comment to my blog here or in the dedicated comment forum at MRU. This is important and the only way we will be able to make a difference is to be pro-active.

Suzi has also blogged about it here
