Doing my regular hunt for articles and news of interest - I found this... sounds more than a little worry-some...

What say you to "crimeware (http://www.canada.com/technology/story.html?id=05c95c07-91a7-4e35-97fb-9cd4c20b14c1)"?

At first glance, the fact that it supposedly morphs into any number of variants... but programmers selling the technology on the open market has got to be a relatively new concept... right?

Crimeware is still spyware, custom made or not. It intrudes into people's privacy - and therefore should be detected.

A nice heuristic engine should take care of the morphing into different variants - but lets wait for Happy Bytes' opinion on this.
