Online Sudoku Comes With Spyware

<snip>

GLENDALE, Calif. -- Are you hooked on Sudoku puzzles?

If you play the puzzles on the Internet, be careful.

Some pornographic sites are downloading spyware when you play Sudoku on your computer.

The spyware is called YazzleSudoku.

When installing the game, it includes a warning that software will be installed if you play the game.

If you refuse to click on "agree," you won't be able to play that particular game, but you won't get clogged with spyware, either.
