iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics

Doug Muth writes "According to this article over on DSL Reports, yet another spyware author, iDownload, has been sending out cease and desist letters to sites that classify their iSearch toolbar as Spyware. Some research reveals that yes, iSearch really does take over users' computers. A search on Spyware Guide also turns up a writeup on iSearch."

Cease or be slashdoted

"This firm represents iDownload.com with respect to your inaccurate classification of iDownload's software product, iSearch toolbar, by referring to it as Spyware in its description. Specifically, a recent review of materials disseminated by your company, via the Internet, revealed that your company is falsely disparaging iDownload's product."

Now i don't suggest anything as unethical as those DDOS screen-savers ,
however if everyone who were to read the message , was perhaps to visit the site then use this contract page ,perhaps we could write a few letters of protest to them(email or normal mail, i wouldn't use your regular email address though) .
While we are there we could peruse the site extensively (not using MSIE )and make good use of the services, to investigate there site and privacy policys(adblock and firefox may also be an idea) .

oh incase it does get slashdoted here is a nyud.net link to the contact page
