| Re: Negative Response from Simtel said by David Kirschbaum, Archivist for Simtel:
I for one am getting irritated at the publicity campaign being drummed up
by the Ad-Aware publishers, fighting back at a threat to their commercial
interests, and trying to force US into doing what they want. That could
be a far uglier trend than the piddling tempest in a teakettle between
RadLight and Ad-Aware.
Say what?????
I didn't have a problem with Simtel's response until I got to that bit.
Hello????
Lavasoft provides basic Adaware for free which gives you control over what programs you want installed on your pc and what information you want sent out. Adaware doesn't make you get rid of any software unless you tell it to remove it. Radlight doesn't allow you to use it's software unless Adaware is removed (isn't this the attitude that got Microsoft in court?).
It's obvious that Simtel doesn't get it. I checked and the latest version of Adaware that they have on their site is 3.6!
Add Simtel to my list of banned sites......
