Two of COAST's founding members, Webroot Software and Aluria Software, withdrew as members of the consortium on Friday. Another founding member, Lavasoft, withdrew from COAST in December 2003. All three companies cited concerns about the direction in which COAST was heading as reasons for severing ties with the group.http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/spyware/coast_implodes.php Feb 3, 2005 Spyware Weekly- February 3, 2005 Table of Contents Keyloggers In The News Feature - Registry Mechanic SPY ACT To Exclude Tracking Cookies How To Block Third Party Tracking Cookies Kazaa CTO: Sharman Employees Hate Kazaa Google Blocks Viruses From Search Engine Stupid Administrators and Their Stupid Filters Headlines If This new entry messes up anyone's RSS reader or looks wrong, please let me know.
