These guys are actually located about 10 miles north of where I work. They've been advertising on local television lately and showing up to various job fairs. They are slime. |

| For those who have no idea about eAcceleration, this thread, dating back to September 27, 2003 from the »Security Forum, should dispel any doubts about just "how" slimy they are.

1 edit | You know the sad thing is. Both of these products have been advertised on the old TechTV - TechTV previously did eAcceleration ( Stop Sign ). Now that they are G4Techtv they haven't learned there lesson. They now have the flashy hype commercial for Veloz AntiVirus. The thing that bothers me the most. Is that your average consumer who doesn't know better. Will be like I saw it on G4Techtv that is a reliable source. They wouldn't let bad companies advertise on there network. So they go and install this crap that hurts more than it helps. It just goes to show you morals sometimes get lost in the urge to make money. Well from a quick review of the other thread. And going and looking at the link. It's seems these 2 companies are one and the same. I'm sure this has already been discovered. But going to the Veloz AntiVirus site and hitting download takes you to the eAcceleration's Stop-Sign Anti-Virus product page.
