 | | I wonder if Reidster (180Solutions shill) will show his face Probably my favorite moment in broadbandreports history, coming in the midst of the 180Solutions/Ad-Aware scandal. Some shill from 180Solutions come on the board posing as an unbiased poster, but his IP address revealed his true side (this was when IP addresses were still listed for anonymous users)

 | | Sue them I helped a couple friends who got infected after someone else used their computer. Uninstalling sypware/adware from a Windows box is timeconsuming. It takes forever for the computer to boot and do anything because they system usage is 100%. I'm surprised that 180 hasn't been sued by infected users for the time and expense of removal. | |
|
 |  | | Re: Sue them Well remember to tell the people alway use the 'x' in the corner to close out the pop-ups. The yes/no/cancel always means:
yes=See someone does want us - install
no=they will really love us once they get used to us - install anyway
cancel=Always install - They reaally didn't mean it, they meant to hit the Yes button, I swear! | |

| Once again the U.S. judicial system FAILS it's citizens. 180 Solutions is a poster boy for CRIMINAL SPAMMERS and PURVEYORS OF SPYWARE. To even think of letting these scumbags off with a joke of a $3 million fine is a true travesty of justice. I hope these scumbags and those in the judicial system who let them off without even a slap on the wrist, burn in Hell! | |

how can fining them $3 million stop them? ...it apparently doesn't.
these spyware/spam freaks need to be shut down completely, especially if we already know who they are. this is just silly. | |

| We need... an investigation into:
Just who determines the amount of the fine? How is the fine collected? How is the fine distrbuted?
This company cause innumerous losses to startup and "whistle-blowers" let alone the actual users whose very PCs and internet accounts were affected.
