Re: Igor Janos Caves In!

Man, that guy is a jackass! I read that posting and he doesn't really apologize for anything. He's trying to backpeddle and act like he did what he did to prove a point and blah, blah, blah. Just like in many other forums here at DSL, it seems to be about a person that knows what's best for us. I mean, I certainly can't think for myself. Thanks for telling me what to think and how Adaware is hurtful to me. You jerkoff. Mark my words. If I ever see you in person, I will kick you in the nuts. Obviously, most who use Adaware are a little more aware of what goes on on the internet (as opposed to, say, some AOL user who thinks he has the only way to cennect to webmd). However, what happens when software is produced that wipes out programs from the PC of Joe Sixpack and they don't know what the hell's going on. I read up on what's going on the internet because I choose to. People shouldn't HAVE to.

It seems that the growing controversy and the action of C-Net has forced Igor "RadScorpion" Janos into admitting that his programs deleting Ad-Aware was a very bad idea. Read his public (qualified) apology here:
»216.194.92.96/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=226

C-Net is the real winner here. They have shown a concern for the public interest and have gained in public trust. On the other hand Simtel's David Kirschbaum's "all's fair in war" attitude I find disturbing.
