Ben Edelman for May 16 -- What's So Hot About Hotbar?

If you heard yesterday's show (and if you didn't you really have to grab it) we had Ben Edleman, master adware sleuth, as our guest. Ben updates his site every Monday and the spyware du jour is Hotbar. I know that my girlfriend's machine got infected with this when her junior high age son installed it without realizing that it carried a nasty payload. So go and enjoy Ben's web site and read up on the all the ways these nasties get loaded onto folk's machines. The computer you save may be your own, or that of a friend or relative.
