Gator Forces Site To Remove 'Spyware' Label
lurker412 writes "CNet News is reporting that Gator has forced PC Pitstop to remove Web pages that call Gator's software 'spyware.' The correct term, according to Gator, is 'adware.' The article states: 'If we find anyone publicly calling us spyware, we correct it and take action if necessary,' said Scott Eagle, Gator's senior vice president of marketing. So be careful what you say in your comments..."
for teabaggers only
I'll take them down like I took down Michael Sims.
You don't impress anyone with your bragging about your homosexual escapades. Get a room.
SE/DK/NO: Gator aer spyware.
RU: Gator tvoj spyware.
(Javla slashcode att valdfora sig pa internationella bokstaver!)
"Only"? Aren't you forgetting all those cute little boys they'll try with next?
Gator is not spyware! Gator is crap. It gets itself installed in a way that is not very ethical. It takes up valuable system resources. It sucks in a multitude of different ways. But Gator is not spyware. You really need to go read up on what constitutes spyware and then tell me how exactly Gator is spyware.
Don't use Internet Explorer. I've noticed after I switched to Mozilla Firebird I barely get any. I just installed and ran Ad-Aware, found 3 spyware programs(well registry entries and the such). Two of which came from Windows Media Player, so really only one cookie of spyware that came from Mozilla. I use to have about 27 per day using Internet Exploder.
Not only are these letters ridiculously gay, signing it Will Wheaton is just pathetic you fuck.
What a stupid, redundant comment.
Who cares if you're the only gay crew member of the USS enterprise.
You know dude.. I really LIKED you in Stand By Me (I'm also a recovering Stephen King reader). But I really couldn't wait until your scrawny little carcass was flushed out of an Enterprise airlock or you were sodomized to death by Warf....
You're like the John-Boy of the 90s (and it looks like poor Richard Thomas' career is reduced to playing a lawyer on some shitty show on PAX. It's too bad; he's actually a good actor).
Anyway.. keep up the good work; I'm hoping you still have an acting career (and that you gain a few pounds - try beer; it worked wonders for me).
(ps: I'm an actor too. I've been acting like a SysAdmin/Network Technical Operations for over a decade...)
I have something in common with Stephen Hawking...
