The flood of ads, no. The flood of lawsuits threatening anyone who dares call their products adware, spyware, or malware? Yes.
Correct and flood of counter-lawsuits by antispy sw vendors.

If Symantec wins this suit, then there will be legal precedent establishing that their definition of "adware" is an opinion that they are free to express. Once this is established, then any lawsuit threats can be countered with a fax of this ruling and a "go ahead and sue me" note. I really don't see Symantec losing this one.
Completely agree.
