International Journal of Intercultural Information Management (IJIIM), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2009

Abstract: Spyware poses a serious threat of privacy infringement to unassuming internet users across the globe. Existing European legislation attempts to protect end-users from unethical processing of their personal data. Outlawing the technology used in spyware and strengthening the legal consent requirement to mine data are statutory solutions that can prevent spyware users from skirting the law. Transnational improvements are necessary to remedy the global spyware epidemic.
