"the Internet, a development that promises social control"

[s~Z]

I was noticing some weird little icons popping up periodically on my
vidscreen and began doing research about virus infections and the like and
ended up downloading "Spybot: Search and Destroy" only to discover that
almost 300 spyware files had been installed on my computer. Even with as
much blocking power as I have been able to find, a half dozen or so of the
buggers sneak through every day.
