Wonder why you have spyware..ban kid sites

Hat tip to instapundit.

This article showes how well known kid sites are targetting your pc's with spyware/adware.

Children were the biggest target for spyware makers, by far. The trip to several kids' sites installed a whopping 359 pieces of adware on Symantec's PCs, five times more than the nearest category rival, travel. Popup ads proliferated on the machines after that, making them virtually unusable.
I bet they would take legal action against us if we decided to put stuff on the sites machines :-(

No wonder my pc stays fairly clean :-) I don't let the kids use it.
