    Hi,

    As today I was preparing news for a portal on IT security,
    I am informed that Anti-Spyware Coalition is finalizing spyware
    definition. It is last moment to finalize with spyware, because
    at the horizon already has appeared “crimeware”. Take a look
    at http://www.antiphishing.org/. I’m quoting: „Technical subterfuge
    schemes plant crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly,
    often using Trojan keylogger spyware.”
    Maybe it would be better to call Trojan horses Trojan horses?

    Regards,

    Valdis
