An Unwanted Guest Destroys Anti-Spyware Coalition

 

When the wrong guest shows up at a party, it's often hard to get the shindig
back on the right track. Think Howard Dean at an NRA rally, or Ralph Nader
dropping by an Al Gore gathering. That's about what it was like when COAST,
the Consortium of Anti-Spyware Technology, invited an unwanted guest--with
questionable motivations--to become a member. Who was the interloper? Our
story names names, and explains why this promising effort has gone up in
smoke. Plus, details on the outrageous pile of cash raised by one of the
ex-members, Webroot. Just what does it need $108 million for?
