re: "if scumbags use popular Macromedia programs
to deliver spyware, adware, malware, trojan horses etc
[then] I wonder if Macromedia is liable?"

rossi,

My Googled 15,400 results for: adware+Macromedia+liable
seems to say a lot has been written about this.

I'm clueless on the products of: http://www.macromedia.com/

Most likely if Macromedia programs are in wide use under Windows
then I'm sure I have been a target of them scumbags.

If you have the time to identify to this board more info on this,
then that would be nice to have here.
