A Microsoft quer que o Senado norte-americano reescreva a legislação anti-spyware (que está em tramitação) para proteger companhias que fornecem ferramentas para a remoção de spywares. A companhia alerta que duas leis aprovadas pelo Senado esta semana falham em prevenir os "processos vingativos", abertos por empresas criadoras de spywares contra ferramentas que removem seus spywares.
"Estas leis deixam empresas que criam ferramentas anti-spywares vulneráveis aos possíveis processos que fabricantes de spywares possam abrir", segundo Jack Krumholtz, chefe do setor de lobby da Microsoft. A própria Microsoft começou a oferecer uma ferramenta anti-spyware este ano.
Microsoft wants the Senate to rewrite anti-spyware legislation in order to protect companies that provide spyware removal utilities. The software maker warned Tuesday that two bills approved by the House of Representatives this week fail to prevent "frivolous lawsuits" filed by adware and spyware companies that are upset when their code is removed.
Members of the House approve two bills with different approaches. "These bills leave companies that are responding to consumer demand for strong anti-spyware tools vulnerable to frivolous lawsuits brought by the very companies responsible for the proliferation of spyware and other deceptive software," Jack Krumholtz, the head of Microsoft's lobbying office, said in a statement. Microsoft began offering a spyware removal utility this year.
