iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics

Posted by timothy on from the o-muerta dept.

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."

    Are you kidding?! Microsoft would work out a deal where it would advertise on the site for free. Microsoft doesn't care about making a great antispyware product. Heck, Microsoft doesn't even care about making one that works. Microsoft only cares about maintaining its monopolies and making ridiculous profits.
