Re: AntiVir flags Sumo as ADSPY
Many Av's are alerting when downloading Sumo.
BTW there is lite version of developer site and i think that no Av will flag it as adware. |

Re: AntiVir flags Sumo as ADSPY
This will be because of RelevantKnowledge, and users have the option to install that or not along with SuMo. However, I think it's a mistake on Kyle's part to bundle it even though there is a lite version without this as it seems RK is listed as adware/spyware by some AVs and the domains owned by them are on several domain block lists (hpHosts for example).

Re: AntiVir flags Sumo as ADSPY
Previous ver. of Sumo did not react like this. For me Sumo is history & all his other products as well. He posts here in a Security forum & allows malware in his apps. Something not quite right here.

Re: AntiVir flags Sumo as ADSPY
Use "Lite" version instead which do NOT contain RK at all.

Re: AntiVir flags Sumo as ADSPY
If you can provide a version without RK, why bother with it at all?
If it's to keep the software free then I'm sure most users would be happy to pay a nominal fee to keep it going. |

Re: AntiVir flags Sumo as ADSPY
Shareware is not an appropriate solution. I'm making a benchmark, comparing SUMo with AudioGrail, which do not have RK but requires a 15 USD licence. It generates less than 10 sales per month...
I think that an "optionnal" sponsor, with the possibility to even download a free of sponsor version is the best compromise today.
