Intelinet Internet Security: definitive malware

Re: Intelinet Internet Security: what the heck is it?

And, downloads offered on countless smudgy sites...

Indeed, that's another source of suspicion.

Yeah, seems rather suspicious... If they are a global leader, then their products would have been tested by outfits like AV-Comparatives, etc. I sure don't see them listed here: »www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02

Global leader in scamming and crapware, maybe

reply to Smokey Bear
Don't know where they're from, but getting 9 million Chinese to use a program wouldn't be hard, given the population size, and it makes the software's usage seem more "global" than it actually may be.

This site promotes dubious software from netcom3 as the top registry cleaner. Note that netcom3 is red-rated by SiteAdvisor (see the link below). As a side note, all other reviewed apps are dubious too =) ...

What lordpake said. The site is a clone of the former consumers-reports.net, which is rated RED by SiteAdvisor. I wrote the REAL Consumer Reports about the existence of that site and it no longer exists. However, scammers are a determined bunch, so the existence of this clone is not surprising.

This site is run by a scammer and affiliate that bills himself as "John Whitter." The same bozo was behind consumers-reports.net and also runs another bogus review site, daily-news-review.com. At the top of the home page, it says "The #1 Most Trusted Consumer Review Site!" If you need a good example of pure BS, it's here. The site goes on to claim "as seen on New York Times, USA Today, Esquire, InformationWeek, CNN, MSN, Yahoo, Forbes and AOL." This is merely more BS.

Like most bogus review sites, this one promotes software of dubious value that was created to satisfy an affiliate's hunger for fat commissions derived from the same of crapware. The following software is promoted here:

• Netcom3 Registry Cleaner (netcom3.com, rated RED)
• Error Sweeper (errorsweeper.com, C-Net Media, rated RED)
• Regcure (Paretologic)
• RegClean (regclean.com, C-Net Media, rated RED)
• Error Doctor (errordoctor.com, rated RED)

Were you hoping to find unbiased advice? Well, "John" gets a commission for referring you in the event of a sale. Some questions should run through your mind:

• Does "John Whitter" write for a respected publication? (No)
• Does "John Whitter" provide credible contact information? (No)
• Does "John Whitter" disclose his blatant conflict of interest? (No)
• Do the developers of this software provide credible contact information? (No)
• Have any of the products promoted by this site been reviewed by respected publications? (No) ...

Am I allowed to announce the Intelinet Internet Security Verdict?

Go right ahead.

The Ultimate Intelinet Internet Security Verdict, granted by the DSLR base:

a very suspicious piece of software, promoted by scammers and crooks and therefore belonging to the crapware category. Stay far away from this kind of crap to save your and your PCs health .

Quantcast statistics intelinet-global.com: »www.quantcast.com/intelinet-glob···#summary

Very interesting numbers and statistics, read them all with attention.. And yes,consumers-review and consumers-reviews are according these statistics clearly related/involved to crook Cashier Myricks and his scam.

Here a POV of a blogger about Intelinet: »www.majauskas.com/intelinet-smar···rity-cam

And, after evaluating all info in this thread, it didn't surprised me at all to find Intelinet on the IP Blocklist for Outpost Firewal with these entrances:
