Re: Silencing the Critics: IBIS

Thanks for your support Eric.

As you know as a small developer we can't afford to spend our time in court. What I find interesting is IBIS can pay for attorneys but didn't bother to pay the $19.95 Plus upgrade. If they had, they would read what we really think of their products.

Our free WinPatrol program makes no judgments as to the nature of a program. As our users request, we notify them when new programs have been installed without their knowledge. It just turns out that IBIS's programs apparently has a habit of doing this. We allow users to make their own judgments.

We don't have or need any kind of vendor appeal process so nothing will change on our end.

When will EFF or someone step up with a vendor defense fund for this kind of nastiness?

Re: Silencing the Critics: IBIS

EFF has stepped up in the past, more recently the Apple intellectual property court cases.

However, I've just now put this up on the front page Eric and Bill:

We need to teach these folks we're not bending, nor weaving. We're doing the right ethical thing.

Thanks for your support Eric.
indeed, and know that you have the very vocal support of a lot of us in the position of often recommending (and, conversely, warning against) products. this is a disturbing trend, and kudos for not caving!

you probably don't remember but my partner and you had a long discussion back a few years about the security of the gateway keyboard thingie ; we both are rooting for you! let us know any further way we can help.

those of us who rely on anti-malware programs have a vested interest in keeping them as clean and "pressure-resistant" as possible!
