innuendo

Being listed on for download on the same sites as spyware.
Since when is that the definition of spyware?

That would make everything available on cNet for download spyware because somethings on there contain spyware.

»download.com.com/3000-2166-10049974.html

»download.com.com/3000-8022-10194···=lst-0-2

Few companies that make small and mid-ticket items check out their retailers beyond running a simple credit check.

So without actual evidence of spying or tracking, I'd say it would be unethical to label something as spyware.

It is not like the evidence would be hard to get if it existed. One way would be a little packet analysis:

The other would be a text editor and Windows Explorer.

Some people are trying to earn some money to pay for the computer courses they took. We don't all have wealthy parents or day-time jobs in other fields. I see nothing wrong in asking for money for a product that works (but I don't object to free offers either).

Huh? Who called it spyware?

I'm not sure who you were actually addressing just now, but if it was Eric's post at SpywareInfo, all he said was "I would advise staying away from this one. The download pages that I did take a look at are suspicious as well -- very little information. In short, it's an application that popped up out of nowhere and is already associated with questionable domains."
