Caixia Zhou · Journal of Guangdong University of Business Studies · 2008
The relation between suppliers of spyware and internet users is different from that of general products.Its installation is coercive and its removal is very hard,so users can't restrain suppliers by selection action through repeated games.In addition,this industry lacks laws and regulations,as well as self-discipline,so that,driven by profit,software makers,agents,employers and plug putters give up their belief,and act worse day by day.An industry chain of spyware in a gray zone has been formed and developing quickly and a large number of users have become the victims.We can't wipe out Spyware only through the spontaneous effect of market strength.In order to purify internet industry,relevant laws should be formulated as soon as possible and they also should be carried out strictly.Moreover,enhancing the discipline force and remodeling shared brief are also very necessary.
