Re: Negative Response from Simtel
"When you can explain how RadLight's actions are more heinous than
Ad-Aware's, we'll rethink our position."
Any moron could explain this. The sole purpose of Ad-Aware is to remove spyware. Nobody downloads Ad-Aware without knowing what it does. It's purpose is made clear, and there are no "hidden features" that are unwanted or harmful.
Radlight is a DivX player, a freakin' movie player! People download it so they can watch movies encoded in the divX codec. Nobody would suspect it also functions as an application removal program. It doesn't matter if they tell the user about it in the License Agreement.
Running an intrusive feature that has nothing to do the functionality of the main program is severely different than running Ad-Aware. Ad-Aware is what it's advertised as, nothing more, and nothing less. That is the difference. It's disturbing and disgusting that a major company would take this stance. I hope it comes back to bite them in the ass.
It's comparing apples to oranges, and it doesn't match up. This guy is either in bed with Radlight's creators or severely challenged in the logic department. |
