Comments on: Adware cannibals feast on each other

Stealthy download purveyors seek to detect, delete competing programs to keep victims--and cash--for themselves.

Battle of the Parasites

Who would have thought?

Just like the Mafia, but better!

All the adware fighters in the world miss 20% of this stuff. Let 'em kill each other off. I wish I had a ware that would let me watch. :-)

Re: a ware to watch it

I might make a program to do that... but it would be bundled with gator (or whatever they're called now) and it wouldn't work without it... :D

parasites

I spent about forty bucks for Pest Patrol to remove this garbage from my PC. Never once was I asked to accept any license agreement before software was installed on my PC - that part of the story is a pure crock. These crooks should be treated like terrorists.

Hacking??

I may be on the wrong track here, but if their software alters software on my computer, doesn't that cross the line into hacking or something. And, if it does, then aren't they subject to prosecution under certain laws. I hope I'm thinking right and someone goes after this. (one more parasitic worm off the internet)

oooh

Let the battle of thewhores commence.
