Re: Yahoo Gives Adware a Pass It made me sick to read this thread, I just wanted to throw my machine away and forget about the web, then I thought why should these**^^*^** win.
I did notice that in their application they [according to many people who come here, spywareinfo and spyware warriors and other places for help]have lied in stating that people agree to their programme in return for ADS.
Go here to read, every time I try to copy I lock up

When will it get through these advertisers heads that we don't want their ads rammed down our throats.
It would be nice to know what these free programmes are and how much these multi million companies paid them. Oh I forgot these are their own programmes. oh well. | |

Couldn't have said it any better than that!

First we had sneaky Gator, now we got sneaky Yahoo. Perhaps sneaky PestPatrol too?
According to this article:
»www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1605589,00.asp
(The distinction between spyware and adware is determined by the vendor, PestPatrol).:(
-
Since GAIN(Gator) is classified as adware by PestPatrol, GAIN is NOT INCLUDED in the scan by Yahoo.
- Here is my challenge to PestPatrol:
If you got the balls, change your classification of GAIN from adware to spyware!!! Thereby forcing all GAIN(gator) stuff to be found on peoples computers.
