East Lansing, MI (PRWEB) March 15, 2005 -- Spyware is pesky, intrusive software that slows down computers, and bombards their users with irritating pop up advertising.

Their guarantee to prospective purchasers is that their laptop is 100% Spyware-Free.

The laptop was made by Acer, and saw rotation at RetroDuck.com for several years. It was the vintage t-shirt companys latest loss in an ongoing battle against Spyware on its computers.
