Spam King Agrees to Limits

In accordance with an understanding with the FTC, Sanford (Spamford) Wallace will stop spreading adware until the resolution of a legal suite against him.

Wallace's company, SmartBot.net has distributed software via various nefarious means that hammers end users with pop-up ads. He is generally better known for sending spam messages via emails - but such activity seems to go hand-in-hand with malware.

Sanford will continue to hit end-users with popup ads - but only those who visit his company's websites.

The FTC says he has used spyware to take over end-users systems, hammering them with unwanted advertising. He then in-turn tries to sell them anti-spyware applications.

This strategy is similar to vendors of software to remove spam who actually spam potential customers.

In short, Sanford Wallace is a major jack ass. Sanford has at times been known as the #1 sender of spam e-mails and has previously been the target of lawsuits.
