NY AG Lawsuit Over Distribution of Spyware Settled

by on

As a follow-up to my previous posting, NY AG Sues Net Marketer For Installing Spyware on Millions of PCs, see this press release dated June 14, 2005:

  • “Intermix Media, Inc. reported today that it has reached an agreement in principle with the Internet Bureau of the Office of the New York State Attorney General which is expected to resolve the pending lawsuit related to the Company’s historical distribution of certain downloadable software applications. Under the terms of the settlement in principle, the Company would pay a total of $7.5 million over three years to the State of New York, and would permanently discontinue distribution of its adware, redirect and toolbar programs, all of which Intermix has previously and voluntarily ceased distributing.”
