Abstract
Spyware has taken some lessons from Greek mythology. Sisyphus was condemned for eternity to roll a large rock up a hill; just when he reached the top of the hill, the rock would roll back down and he would have to start again. Sisyphus learned that it was hard getting something where you wanted it, but it was even harder getting it to stay there.
