from the author of SpyBot (Patrick M. Kolla).... "PepiMK Group: Administrator Posted: Feb. 11 2003 Topic: The black sheep in the anti-spyware business, BulletProof and TrekBlue While many people in the anti-spyware sector are doing this mostly because they are dedicated to security and privacy, there are always a few black sheep trying to make quick money using the fear of many users. Two such black sheeps are BulletProof software with their Spyware and Adware Remover and TrekBlue with their SpywareNuker. Both products are based on a hacked version of the Spybot-S&D database. Evidence for this is very clear as the Spyot-S&D contains quite some entries to determine such theft. These entries are wrong entries, some detecting things that do not really exist, some detecting minor threats under the wrong name, etc.. These tricks are absolutely harmless to the normal user of Spybot-S&D, but do clearly identify a stolen version of the Spybot-S&D database. Both products mentioned above detect exactly the same 'mistakes' the Spybot-S&D database contains. I am in contact with two attourneys to sue these two companies. I recommend that you use neither of the two programs mentioned above. Using them is a copyright infringement!!! (and in addition you won't get more than with Spybot-S&D, as they are based on older Spybot-S&D databases) Another interesting thing: there is someone 'spamming' at download.com: Spybot-S&D and AdAware have received thousands of negative feedbacks with the same text (CNet is removing them constantly), but the BPS Remover has gotten more than 10.000 positive feedbacks from the same name and the same text. -------------- Just remember, love is life, and hate is living death.
