| Absolutely superb list
I found the new list compiled by Eric Howes earlier this morning, and as always, Eric has outdone himself in detail and in making sure no stone is left unturned.
This list is a MUST for anyone concerned about their online privacy and security.
Kudos to Eric Howes for his continued efforts in creating information that is up to date, well-researched and as definitive as humanly possible on any given date.

This is a great compilation of info I'll keep bookmarked for reference and will share with others. This list provides a detailed look at the shadier side of the anti-spyware software market. Clearly a lot of work went into this.
Thanks again, Eric, for your dedication in continuing to develop and provide online resources such as this. | |

| Re: eAcceleration Slimeballs Speaking of eAcceleration, there's a current thread on another of the company's products, Veloz AntiVirus (kind of like Bonzi.com calling their Internet Alert a firewall) in Security:

1 edit | Re: eAcceleration Slimeballs 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. -- Test Your Security Team Z Member Cable Modem Diagnostics | |

| Adverts Did they just rename that from Phony Spyware Removal Tools to Iffy Spyware Removal Tools?
Would it be a good idea for lavasoft (ad-aware) to do adverts ? or at least explain this kind of information on the site?
