If you browsed any of the WFI site, you should check your computer for spyware.

Oh, jeez. Luckily, I didn't visit their stupid-ass site, I just looked at a cached file of their front page.

*promptly armors up with Ad-Aware, SpywareBlaster, and Spybot-S&D* That's going to be before I go anywhere near the WFI site.

What exactly is the legality of spyware, anyways? It seems to fall in a morally questionable Big Brother sort of space.

uuuuuuuuuuuugh...had to run a full scan, found over 300 critical objects...now, I'm not vigilant with the scanning (so I have no before WfI/after WfI stats) but I believe I'll be tracking from now on...thanks for the heads up, I had no idea about backtracking/spyware until you posted this.

liz marcs posted some useful firefox extensions that block most things if you use that (or are considering switching browsers).
