- A new industry grouping calling itself the Anti Spyware Coalition (ASC) (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/74916/anti-spyware-coalition-defines-what-it-is-spyware.html) has begun its life with an existential question: What exactly is the spyware that it is anti? It has also come up with definitions for such nasties as 'adware,' 'port scanner,' and 'screen scraper'. It is asking the public for their feedback to the definitions, although submissions need to be in by 12 August.
