California Enacts Anti-Spyware Law

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed into
law an anti-spyware bill that seeks to protect consumers
from harmful software that is deceptively or surreptitiously installed on their computers. The Consumer Protection Against Computer Spyware Act makes it illegal for anyone to install software on someone else's computer and use it to deceptively modify settings, including a user's home page, default search page, or bookmarks and outlaws the collection, through intentionally deceptive means, of personal information through keystroke-logging, tracking Web site visits, or extraction of PII from a user's hard drive. http://www.clickz.com/news/article.php/3414851
