Culled from the latest CRYPTOGRAM ...

   Join "My SHC Community" on Sears.com, and the company will install
   some pretty impressive spyware on your computer.  If a kid with a
   scary hacker name did this sort of thing, he'd be arrested.  But
   this is Sears, so who knows what will happen to them.  But what
   should happen is that the anti-spyware companies should treat this
   as the malware it is, and not ignore it because it's done by a
   Fortune 500 company.
