Spyware distributers are kind of in the same business as the guys who come round and offer to relay your drive, put down half an inch of soggy tarmac and at the same time distract you long enough for "a friend" to go in the back door and nick your wallet!

These guys claim to be legitimate business men too, and they prey on the vulnerable in the same way.
