Re: Help Me Understand

According to the press release:
"180solutions has passed a lengthy and rigorous review process
demonstrating their commitment to develop and distribute spyware-free
applications," said Trey Barnes, executive director of COAST. "By making
substantial modifications to its software, and working with channel partners
to distribute only the modified versions of its products in the future, the
company has demonstrated its desire to adhere to COAST's high level of
standards. We are pleased to welcome them as a new developer member."

So it appears that 180 wants to do a 180 and not crap-up people's computers. Personally, I have a difficult time believing them.

Re: Help Me Understand

Somehow this entire 180 turnaround on crapware installs reminds me of the "I Can Change" song, from the South Park movie.

Sorry, but I really have a hard time trusting a company who one day was focused on crapping up my computer, and the next "trying" to safeguard it.
