Spitzer's Spreading Spyware Net

"Eliot Spitzer is turning up the heat on spyware. On Apr. 28, the New York State Attorney General, sued spyware operator Intermix Media, alleging that its programs violate New York laws against false advertising and deceptive business practices and trespassing. Now, BusinessWeek has learned, Spitzer is looking at other spyware providers and is likely to broaden his investigation to go after the advertisers and ad networks that work with them, as well. "
