Re: Pest Patrol: Claria Temporarily Removed

When the almighty dollar speaks av vendors listen?
When threatened with long and potentially VERY expensive lawsuits, yes, they do. This all makes Microsoft's Antispyware look better and better, if only because no vendor has enough money to threaten Microsoft.

We can take this one step further. What would you do if you were Microsoft and wanted to take over the Anti-Spyware market? Well, you have a lot of money and you can do almost anything you want. How about discrediting the competition? Especially if the competition is so eager to go along with the scam: "What? You'll pay us how much to remove your program from detection list? Where do we sign?"

Just spreading love, joy, and paranoia.
