Adware eats Adware

According to a CNet article, Adware has allegedly been targeting...other Adware.

DirectRevenue is Adware that apparently asks explicitly for permission to "remove, disable or render inoperative other adware programs resident on your computer."

Avenue Media has launched a suit against DirectRevenue, claiming that the DirectRevenue program has caused the loss of a million of its own installations, resulting in a loss of revenue in the region of $10,000 per day.

Interesting news all round.
