Spyware

A decent radio broadcast, available via podcast or direct download, is available in this link. Look slightly to the right of the text in the middle column, you’ll see to links, one for Real Audio, the other for Windows media player. Most people reading this will probably have the Microsoft media player due to it being preinstalled on their PCs. You can download and listen in one click, and keep on working on your computer while it’s playing.

Kojo’s show, as do a number of NPR radio stations now, is available as a podcast as well. Just look for the orange POD button, and paste the link there into your podcatcher software.

Kojo does a decent job of hosting a weekly technical show, this week Spyware was the discussion topic, and it includes decent advise and I really “feel” for the call-ins, who are having trouble because of Spyware.

From Kojo’s website:

Spyware and viruses cost Americans nearly $8 billion in the last two years, and experts say online attacks are getting more insidious and harder to fix. We’ll look at the evolving nature of spyware and assess federal efforts to prosecute online wrongdoers.
