| I wonder if Reidster (180Solutions shill) will show his face
Probably my favorite moment in broadbandreports history, coming in the midst of the 180Solutions/Ad-Aware scandal. Some shill from 180Solutions come on the board posing as an unbiased poster, but his IP address revealed his true side (this was when IP addresses were still listed for anonymous users)

I wonder if they still have clowns like this on their payroll? |

Knowing these scumbags, they're probably going to claim the $3M as a business expense and get a tax deduction for it. |

| Sue them
I helped a couple friends who got infected after someone else used their computer. Uninstalling sypware/adware from a Windows box is timeconsuming. It takes forever for the computer to boot and do anything because they system usage is 100%. I'm surprised that 180 hasn't been sued by infected users for the time and expense of removal. |

180 Solutions is a poster boy for CRIMINAL SPAMMERS and PURVEYORS OF SPYWARE. To even think of letting these scumbags off with a joke of a $3 million fine is a true travesty of justice. I hope these scumbags and those in the judicial system who let them off without even a slap on the wrist, burn in Hell! |

an investigation into:
Just who determines the amount of the fine?
How is the fine collected?
How is the fine distrbuted?
This company cause innumerous losses to startup and "whistle-blowers" let alone the actual users whose very PCs and internet accounts were affected.

Re: Once again the U.S. judicial system FAILS it's citizens.
I agree.
how can fining them $3 million stop them? ...it apparently doesn't.
these spyware/spam freaks need to be shut down completely, especially if we already know who they are. this is just silly. |

Re: We need...
AFAIK, any fine paid to a government agency goes to that government agency's budget, meaning the FTC gets to pocket the $3M.
I.E. a XxX County Sheriff writes me a traffic ticket and I acquiesce and pay said ticket, the fine goes to XxX County.

Re: Sue them
Well remember to tell the people alway use the 'x' in the corner to close out the pop-ups.
The yes/no/cancel always means:
yes=See someone does want us - install
no=they will really love us once they get used to us - install anyway
cancel=Always install - They reaally didn't mean it, they meant to hit the Yes button, I swear! |

That's too funny - what a moron. For some people, it's just best to take them outside and put a bullet in the back of their head, since they are completely useless when alive.
