Re: The Coming Spyware Superstorm?

""Much of the "evil" things heard about "adware" are over-exaggerations packaged by the "anti-advertising industry" as a "fear sale" pressure tactic," the company argues. "This approach is consistent with the interests of an "anti-adware" company in fostering fear and discontent on the part of the general public regarding advertising software. The more the public fears, the more the "anti-advertising industry" profits."

Profits made off of the most effective (and totally free) spyware removal tools: Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware? Profits made by Eric Howes? C2 Media argues that they and companies like them "should not be penalized for creating innovative new technologies that allow advertisers the opportunity to more easily reach targeted consumers."


Profits? From FREE software?

EDIT: Never mind, sarcasm not recognized.

I do believe that is what some people call "sarcasm".
