COAST can no longer be trusted anymore

Now that they've allowed an adware company to join their
ranks, one must really question COAST's integrity and
trustworthiness. And by extension, this could now apply
to their member companies. Aluria we know has already gone
over to the dark side. And if CA and Webroot don't want to
be seen in a similar manner, it would be wise of them to
disassociate themselves from COAST.

BTW, are Lavasoft and PepiMK still COAST members? Or did
they pull out some time ago?

Edit: I just read over at grc.spyware that Patrick Kolla
refused to join COAST, while Lavasoft actually pulled out of
the organization some time ago. Also, a quote from one
of the GRC regulars that sums this up pretty well:

said by Mark V:
When you finally get enough foxes into the henhouse, only foxes
reside there. It is now a fox den, not a henhouse.

Lavasoft pulled out a long time ago, with some fanfare. PepiMK were never part of it in the first place.

This is the end for COAST. nCase have not made *any* efforts at all to reform; they are still installing on IE security holes to this day.

CA and Webroot will have to leave this laughing-stock of an organisation. Even WhenU and Weatherbug are going to find this association embarrassing.
