"CONCORD, N.H. - A federal judge has ordered a man known as the "Spam
King" to disable so-called spyware programs that infiltrate people's
computers, track their Internet use and flood them with pop-up
advertising.

"U.S. District Judge Joseph DiClerico issued a temporary restraining
order Thursday against Stanford Wallace and his companies,
SmartBot.net Inc. of Richboro, Pa., and Seismic Entertainment
