School-porn case raises computer, spyware questions
,----[ Quote ]
| Some IT administrators for K-12 schools say they're inclined to
| believe that spyware did hijack Amero's network-based computer
| to display the pornographic pop-ups. That's because on the
| high-speed LANs that connect their schools to the Internet,
| these IT administrators find themselves going into battle
| against spyware-controlled computers even when these computersa
| re up-to-date on malware detection and patching.

| "I can't believe they brought these charges against her," says
| Tom Sims, director of network services for Miami-Dade Public
| Schools, which has 375,000 students and 90,000 desktops that
| students use.
