How do Spyware and Malware companies get away with doing whart they do? Is anyone trying to stop it?
Q. Specifically, the act of installing a bunch of trojans and spyware on your computer and then advertising a program that they made to remove what they put on.

People fall for it themselves.
the fact is that most of these companies aren’t actually companies but fake websites setup to capture your personal data such as credit card information, etc.
Ideally you should only visit websites you know and trust or use some sort of ad-block software before visiting untrusted sites.
I would strongly suggest trying out Firefox with the NoScript plugin installed. This prevents all scripts from running on a website but allows you to explicitly grant permissions to certain scripts.
Firefox – mozilla.com
NoScript – noscript.net
No one is forcing you to surf the internet
its a free forum, stop looking at porn.
Most if not all of these places are located in other countries outside the US. That making it very difficult to find these people.
The short answer is because there is money involved. Different from viruses where the majority is created by teens or single individuals with no other goal than cause havoc, spyware and adware is created by companies and individuals that are paid and get money for it. Some companies have ads where they get paid just by people visiting the site (there’s no need for you to buy anything) and there is also the spam emails that just by being opened by you they get paid (they know you opened by using graphic files in the email.. that’s way most of email readers nowadays don’t load graphics in the email by default).
