For Gandalph: Dug up the thread about Alluria partnering with... You guessed it, WhenU. This thread is much shorter, only 5 pages.


WhenU enters the anti-spyware market ...by partnering with Alluria to offer a rebranded version of Alluria's software.

Obviously, a vendor that forms partnerships with crapware vendors isn't to be trusted.
Yeah, I did my own research after seeing the first post, shame I didn't research before purchase. Oh well, buyer beware.

The problem of spyware/adware/malware is an ever increasing dilema. Spysweeper catches stuff that Pest Patrol doesn't. Pest Patrol catches stuff that MS Antispyware doesn't. MS Antispyware catches stuff that Spybot doesn't....ad infinitum. It won't be long before your computer resources are being all used up by programs that look for programs unecessarily using up all your computers resources. Kind of a sickening catch-22 situation.
