Understood. (And although I believe your definition to be a tad...
draconian, I wasn't trying to debate that.) Rather, the fact that
"malware" is a partial derivative of "malicious," it damns by
association and I wanted to distance the product from that particular
word.

I'm sorry...what do you mean by "called them out?" I'd assumed you had
labeled CPF "malicious" based on someone referencing a spywareguide url.
Did I miss something?
