This CNet News.com article says that MS has appealed to the Congress for protection from "frivilous" lawsuits by the purveyors of adware and spyware. Such firms have threatened or actually filed suit against a number of organizations who make removal tools, as well as Ben Edelman (who was on the show, recently).
You know; No one complains if I uninstall software on my machine. Yet these firms complain about the companies that help me remove software by providing me with tools. Seems silly, but I know the legal bills can mount up fast and it seems the shadier the operation, the more willing they are to sue.
