No adware / spyware thread would be complete without my 2 cents. Shut down Standard Internet (12Clicks program) and you've already made the internet a much better place.
Ah, but his software is simply "ad-supported". But, then again, try to tell that to McAfee, Norton, Microsoft, and all the other internet security hounds...and you will find that they don't refer to it in such enduring terms.
The ironic thing is, some of his ads actually sell "real" spyware removers. And, if you look in their spyware database, you will find the other little goodies offered up in his other ads. Guess that's one way to generate business.
Not all of them however are "real" spyware detectors. One of them has been shown and is listed by McAfee and Norton as a trojan...simply Masquarading as a spyware remover. In reality, it actually installs a few new nasties of it's own.
Now, for my bit of fortune telling..12Clicks will enter this thread...and he won't really touch on the subject at hand. But he will either a) call himself my better b) say that I am bitter c) make a "day job" reference. d) he will refer to me complaining to the fcc. Hoo Hum... Ron, stick to flogging your "ad-supported" software. That is undeniably where your real strengths lie.
