The Plot To Hijack Your Computer 
 
A Direct Revenue spokesman, Michael Spinney, says the company is "mystified"
by Spitzer's allegations. It cleansed its practices more than nine months
ago, Spinney says, and now puts its name on all its pop-up ads. It also now
makes its software available for deletion in a computer's Add/Remove
Programs registry and has limited its use of distributors.
