A Webroot IPO, and Spyware Uber Alles

By Paul Kedrosky · Wednesday, November 15, 2006 ·
Lycos is reporting that "spyware" is the number one search term on that service this week. It coincides with my conviction that consumer interest continues to grow in anti-spyware tools, privacy protections, etc., as they become more concerned, rightly or wrongly, of the perceived risks in the digital world around them.

As personal testimony, I even got around to installing Webroot's Windows Washer this week. That company remains very nicely positioned, an ideal candidate to go public in 2007 under my IPO resurgence thesis.
