Re: Lavasoft's best business practices
I still use Ad-Aware's free scanner regularly, but had an experience back in '03 that cleared up any delusions I might otherwise have had about Lavasoft's ethics.
Someone helping me in their forum sent me a PM suggesting I join another forum where this same person would be better able to help me further. After I did that, I learned that this person would've been expected/required to try to sell me the paid version of Ad-Aware if we'd continued our communications there, even though it was the person's very well-educated opinion (heck, their name was one of those listed in the application's credits on my screen) it wouldn't do any good.
Conclusion: the company was greedy 4 years ago and is greedier now.
