| Kiss off... ...iDownload/iSearch. You know your creating spyware/malware. Using deceptive methods to propagate your software on to users machines. And some how you want us to all just turn our heads and accept that your software is legit. Urrrr.. wrong answer.. | |

| StraightShoot, you're right on many things, but on this one, I think you may have been given incorrect information.
We fully own this code. It is not some "licensed" version of the Microsoft product. We are innovating on it at a rapid pace with our own team.
CounterSpy is actively being developed by a world-class team of developers here at Sunbelt. Our research team is also adding definitions to what Microsoft sends us. With CounterSpy, you get two layers of definitions: Microsoft's and then ours.
As the Microsoft statement says, we get their definitions until July of 2007. But we're already adding our own.
We're pleased CounterSpy did well in the new PC World shootout »www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/···2,00.asp and the enterprise version was just reviewed quite favorably in eWeek »www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1764149,00.asp
Sorry for the post, I just felt that I needed to step in and clear up any confusions.
And keep up the fight.

I've converted it to an HTML file, but due to possible legal reasons, I can't upload it.
As much as I'd like to, as it is a very good read, I want to respect Sunbelt ^_^ Maybe ask them to post it as an HTML file. | |

I can't believe they would argue that it isn't spyware/adware! IMO, it's a crime... and they, in turn, should be put in the slammer to rot for life. | |

In this link, about 15 posts down, Arlo says "our p2p and voip apps will be going live very shortly". That will be interesting when this fine, fine company (I can't afford an attorney) begins offering P2P and VOIP services.
This link was publicly posted by Arlo's ad manager, "Wiseman" who's real name is Ryan:
»www.jamieandryan.com/gallery/albums.php
Click on the "wedding" link, then look on the left side, 3 pics down and you'll see a pic of Arlo and Ryan (Wiseman) together at the wedding. Awww. Aren't they cute!
Google is a wonderful tool for obtaining info about fine upstanding people in who's shoes we'd all love to be in and who, despite hard work and effort to do good and spread love, cheer, and happiness in the world, are severely misunderstood and wrongly maligned. Why, I'd never say anything derogatory about such fine people as we know work at idownload.com! Also, did you know that their attorneys are also wonderful, cheerful, God-fearing folk? They take in orphans and such. Read the Good Book every evening they do. Fine members of the community all of them and a shining example for us all. If only I had the money to afford attorneys like that. Land sakes, some people (fine upstanding folk) have all the luck. | |

| Sunbelt After spending 6 hours getting iSearch off my wife's computer, there is no doubt that it is not only Scumware, it is highly predatory, not dissimilar to sexual predators and should be viewed at about that moral level.
Cheers to Sunbelt. I highly recommend reading their response to iSearch's legal threat. It is highly literate, concise and specific. On the other hand, iSearch's attorney wrote a generalized blustering huff-and-puff letter that basically said nothing at all beyond vague threats.
I downloaded CounterSpy which is the only software that detected all of the junk and even then it took 4 scans to get rid of it all.
I have a feeling that the morons from iSearch, iSlime or whatever they are called don't really know who they are messing with. | |
