http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I am creating this thread after getting really frustrated. The two other threads I started on this topic were closed before I got my question answered. I was asked to post in other threads on the topic which were all closed and my question was not answered in any of those threads either. I feel someone is stonewalling any discussion about this topic. I'd like to get an answer to the following question. It is in regard to the following article http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do which talks about supposed spyware in ubuntu 12.10 . I'd like to know if this (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Amazon ads in ubuntu 17 weeks 5 days ago

Hello,

I tried to start a thread on this topic earlier, but it was closed. All the other threads on this topic seem to be closed too. So, I can't post this anywhere else.

Basically, I have a question about what Richard Stallman said here : http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do .

Is this spyware installed on ubuntu 12.04 too? Is ubuntu 12.04 affected?

Go Richard!!

Sifting through some of the most popular blogs online, you’ll find countless articles about removing viruses,

I see SpywareGuard 2.2 touted as a good free real-time antimalware app that makes a great compliment to SpywareBlaster. But can anyone confirm that for me, and that it's definitely a different app than Spyware Guard 2008 & 2009? It had better be, because the latter is said to actually be a sophisticated rogue antispyware. Check these links out:

Re - Ubuntu Spyware 23 weeks 5 days ago

This morning, (last evening, American time), I posted a link to Stallman's rant on Ubuntu as spyware.

I did this, not to flame or abuse Ubuntu in any way, but to give opportunity for rebuttal and constructive comments from Ubuntu's loyal users. I believe it is in Canonical's interests to understand what it's users want and/or find distasteful.

The post was promptly shut down.

Can someone tell me why threads are closed as solved when they are not solved. Sometimes issues in previous Ubuntu versions continue in newer versions. It seems obvious to reply to a matching thread rather than creating multiple threads with the same topic.

Closed KDE threads 3 years 31 weeks ago

First off I don't appreciate that. Secondly, go back to what, the first thread where I can learn what you guys think of liberal media bias and Obama winning the Nobel Prize?? Ummmm nope, that isn't what I asked in that thread and *best of all* it was closed, taking away my opportunity to find an answer in the first place much less the right answer.
