CNet is reporting that Claria has settled lawsuits with several companies that were suing it. These companies were not happpy that Claria, through it's crapware program Gator, was covering their ads on websites with ads from competitors.
No word on how much was given to each of the plaintiffs in the case, but I hope that the Claria executives had to give up their Ferraris and million-dollar mansions.
Better yet, the executives of Claria should have to give everyone in the United States their home phone number so we can call them for help when they're crap spyware crashes our computers. I think I like that idea best.
"Hi, Jeff McFadden please."
"Hi Jeff, this is Maurice. Hey can you swing by my friend's house? Your POS software is making his computer unstable and I don't have the time to help him format his drive and reinstall windows. Can you handle that for me? Great. Thanks."
