Lavasoft made themselves look vulnerable and now, Pest Patrol wusses out.

No thanks. Once a company balks at the very thing they are offering protection against, they lose credibility in my book.
At least we have Microsoft in the game now. I've had good luck with their program, and I don't think they're going to "wuss" out.
Yeah, because the adware/spyware companies know that they'd go bankrupt trying to sue MS.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13039630 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 23:38:56 EDT Re: Add another one... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13033736 roamer1 :

There is only two products I use for removing adware/spyware from computers I get in, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware.

Everytime I've tried using Pest Patrol it doesn't work worth a damn so I just uninstall it too. Why waste my time with a product that doesn't do what it advertises.
I've long used Ad-Aware, but right *before* the recent Lavasoft/WhenU spat added Spybot S&D to the mix -- and found that the "resident" feature is really nice. ;) I also have the M$ anti-spyware beta around here somewhere, but haven't installed it yet...

That said, I rarely get spyware in the first place, as I use Firefox and not IE and generally avoid the types of software (P2P apps, etc.) that carry it (and when I *do* torrents and so on I use open-source stuff)...
