AhnLab wins in anti-spyware ruling

Court approves AhnLab’s spyware classification

The Southern District Court of Seoul ruled this week that AhnLab’s detection and labelling as spyware of the product of software company Digital Names is justified.

The court rejected a petition filed by Digital Names to stop the distribution of AnhLab’s anti-spyware product SpyZero, ruling that the spyware label was appropriate since the program in question reinstalls itself automatically even after deletion.
