L.L. Bean sues pop-up advertisers.
"The retailers named in the lawsuits contracted with software company Claria Corp., which creates programs to track online habits, Kelley said. These programs then create windows to display specific advertisements when a Web browser visits certain sites."
"Kelley said many consumers unwittingly install "spyware" on their computers when they download games or other programs from the Web."
