The Redmond, Wash., software maker filed the claims Thursday in Washington state court against five unknown individuals under the business names Soft Solutions, DirectAd, qiweroqw.com, ITmeter INC. and ote2008.info.

Microsoft's associate general counsel, Tim Cranton, announced the move in a blog post.

The company is accusing the defendants of spreading so-called "malvertisements," ads that can end up infecting computers with damaging software.

Now that is a great filing.

hmm wonder what ever happened to AlphaRed...or James

Indeed, I've had to get this off a few pcs of friends and family along with my own and I've thought many times as to what I'd do if I ever discovered who was behind it. I bet the money they've earned via this is staggering.
