When are silicon.com going stop tyring to install spyware? Also, I notice that I am now getting spam on an email address only ever used for silicon.com. (Ed note. Rest assured there is no possible way you are being spammed by silicon.com or that your email address has been passed on or sold for this purpose. Many spam email campaigns generate email addresses at random - called dictionary attacks. These generate millions of possible letter and number combinations either side of an @ sign - meaning even an email address which has never been used or given out can still receive spam. This is how many filters work - based on exactly those kinds of email addresses - called spam traps. Do not assume just because you use one email address for one thing that it can only be sent to by that one person or company. The issue of 'spyware' - cookies - being installed by silicon.com is openly addressed in our Privacy Policy: http://www.silicon.com/misc/privacy.htm )
