Avenue Media N.V. is a software company that specializes in developing spyware and malicious software. The company is based out of Curacao which helps them bypass the CAN SPAM Act of 2003. Most harmful spyware originates in foreign countries that have little concern for rules and regulations in cyberspace. Avenue Media N.V. made a wise decision in that business move because the one type of spyware that is commonly cracked down on in the United States – they specialize in.
Avenue Media N.V. is well-known for a video hoax inviting email and IM recipients to view free video clips including one with Bill Gates receiving a custard pie right smack in his face. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people that want to see Bill Gates get hit in the face with a pie. They click on the link and blindly download the “Internet Optimizer.”
Listen very carefully when I say always read End User License Agreements (EULA). If you read Avenue Media N.V.’s EULA, you’re giving permission to this company to take all the people in your email and IM list and send similar spam. Just in case your friends question their credibility, they will use your name as reference for their good standing. Not to mention the EULA also gives Avenue Media N.V. the right to remote access of your computer, so they can update or install new programs on your computer.
The funny thing about most Adware or spyware is that in some inadvertent way end users don’t realize they agreed to have spyware on their computer. The reluctance of the end user to read terms and conditions thoroughly is the key.
If you think that Avenue Media N.V. is on your computer, removing it will be difficult because you will have to remove whatever their 3rd party affiliates have also installed. A good anti-spyware program should be able to take care of this in one sweep.
