Sears Installs Spyware
from slashdot.org .............. Gandalf_the_Beardy writes in with news that's been around a while but is getting more attention lately. Last month Benjamin Googins, a security researcher at CA, determined that Sears Holding Corp. installed ComScore spyware without adequate disclosure . Sears said, yes we tell people about tracking their browsing. On Jan. 1 spyware researcher Ben Edelman weighed in, noting that Sears' notice occurs on page 10 of a 54-page privacy statement , and twits Sears because its installation identifies the software as "VoiceFive" and later claims it's coming from a company called "TMRG, Inc." even though a packet sniffer confirms the software belongs to ComScore, adding "These confusing name-changes fit the trend among spyware vendors."

Installing third-party spyware isn't okay. Ever. Unless it cures cancer, and last time I checked nobody was writing cookies that kept me tumor-free. I'll probably never let some tech store mook within ten feet of my box, specifically because of stories like this.

I went into a Sears last week. It's depressing. It's dim, dirty and down right miserable. Nothing is kept up and everything looks like crap.
