Thanks Melih. Given the debate which has started on a.c.f. about your
products, it seems that there are some people who mis-classify.
But I stand by my earlier comment - there are some well informed folks
on a.c.f. I have found the newsgroup to be a useful resource.
What seems to have happened is that spywareguide have criticised your
products from a vested interest point of view (see Craig's comments)
and this subtlety hasn't been picked up by a few people.
Please bear in mind that it was me who posted details about your free
products originally to inform others, so I have no personal axe to
grind. Based upon recent comments, I would install any one of them if
I had a current use for them.
You might like to post the .pdf file for folks to read...
