The leading drug maker Pfizer Inc. and Microsoft Corp. announced last week that they filed joint lawsuits against Web site owners and e-mal spam advertisers that they allege sell counterfeit versions of Pfizer's Viagra, a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
The companies have filed 17 actions against CanadianPharmacy and E-Pharmacy Direct involved in the sale and spam advertising of illegal generic Viagra.
Microsoft also filed three other spam operators who advertise for other online pharmacies.
About 25 percent of all spam advertising over the internet involves Viagra, Pfizer said in a statement.
People who take counterfeit Viagra run the risk of developing serious health problems from possible drug contamination.
