MediaPost reports adware firm 180solutions is revising its software to help combat stealth downloads and is joining an anti-spyware nonprofit. 180solutions CEO Keith Smith said the new roll-out, to take place over the first quarter, will prevent the software from being capable of being loaded onto a person's computer without their explicit permission. Reportedly, some affiliates have managed to cram the software onto unsuspecting users' hard drives in the past. Smith said 180solutions is suing some affiliates for this activity. Computer security firm McAfee recently called 180solutions application a prime menace due to its prevalence of popping up on hard drives without permission.
