It's got to make you wonder; if they're using popups to advertise their anti-adware/spyware software, how do I know they won't just remove their competitors spyware/adware and leave their own?
Not like I'd ever consider buying their product now to find out. I've added www.noadware.net to my hosts file, block list and non-trusted zone. Yeah I'm annoyed, but spite is a beautiful thing.  |

There are people who install garbage like that my moron brother being one of them heh
Dont get me wrong companies need to advertise their products im fine with that and im fine with banner adds on web pages. But miss leading marketing and popups/popunders im not fine with. If i frequent a site and they have a banner on their page i will click it. If theres a sign up for some stupid news letter on that page ill use a through away email or a bogus one to help out the site hosting the banner.

Of course most newbies aren't going to be aware of this,
but NoAdware.net is listed on Spyware Warrior as a rogue
anti-spyware product:
»www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_ant···ware.htm
And according to them, the accusations are:
said by Spyware Warrior.com:
false positives used as goad to purchase; flagged by Ad-aware as "scam" (1); company has advertised with known CWS sites & Netpalnow.com; has used aggressive, deceptive advertising (1, 2); has exploited names of "spybot" and "ad-aware" (1); uses same db/defs as SpyBan, Spyware C.O.P., & SpywareKilla
And advertising by popup ad is questionable to say the
least.
