Windows users resort to throwing out PCs rather than cleaning spyware, malware infested machines

MacDailyNews - Apple and Mac News:
'Add personal computers to the list of throwaways in the disposable society. On a recent Sunday morning when Lew Tucker's Dell desktop computer was overrun by spyware and adware - stealth software that delivers intrusive advertising messages and even gathers data from the user's machine - he did not simply get rid of the offending programs. He threw out the whole computer,' Matt Richtel and John Markoff report for The New York Times."
