Also, in the spirit of helping out, I've just posted this to the BBC Webwise feedback section.
Sirs,
Whilst using google to research the new spyware program called Webwise that BT and other major internet providers are planing to implement, the first thing I came across was your very own BBC beginner's guide to the internet.
I am concerned that a prestigious public funded organisation such as yourselves are allowing your good name to be associated with such an intrusive and underhanded venture. In my mind, and in the minds of many others, Webwise will always be connected with the BBC and I hate to think that people will be duped into clicking YES on any pop-up invitation box simply because they have come to trust your advice and will assume that you are sponsoring the new scheme.
Please, for the safety of many innocent webusers, the very webusers your site is aimed at informing, I am urging you to look further into this pernicious hijacking of your reputation.

Well said lets hope they get enough to act and force them to look elsewhere for a name to pimp... Seem sPhorm pimp everything like the name Phorm is the name for a small design company in Sheffield he was using the name before Kent decided to pimp it almost the same log suprise.. Reading in the history it isnt the first time they have used a name some other company already use since F secure have a line saying there is no link with another company with the rootkits name..
Later today after my guests have left wil look up and post the names and other companies that traded under those names at that time..
