Also, spyware relies on user retardation. If we teach surfers, they will not be installing it. Yet no one can escape spam.
wow, you just don't get it. of course webmasters aren't likely to fall victim to adware/spyware/whatever but obviously surfers do at an alarming amount otherwise zango wouldn't be banking over 50 million per year.

i guarentee zango and the like cost webmasters more money than spam does. sure spam takes a bit of time to sort through ect, but say i lose 4 30 dollar sales to adware per day. thats 120/day, 840/week, 3360/month. i would rather get that money and get 100 or more spams to sort though per day. who does business through email these days anyways? most people use icq, etc.
