    Same, I wouldn't be laughing too awful hard. It can happen and there wouldn't be a damn thing you could do about it. Google, Microsoft, many companies "waste money" on smaller companies. All they gotta do is kill off the name, incorporate what the smaller company offered into the bigger companies product, and hand the workers a pink slip unless they move them elsewhere.

    Be thankful these companies still are here for the time being, they can be gone with the shake of a hand and stroke of a pen tomorrow. Companies and people will do a lot of things they wouldn't normally in the kind of economy we're dealing with.

    As the article suggests, CounterSpy has been discontinued. Support for it will continue until December 31st this year, hence the reason why definitions will continue to release for the product. CounterSpy technology laid the foundation for what is VIPRE Antivirus today, The same exact technology is used in both products. I urge avid CounterSpy and Sunbelt Personal Firewall users to try out our all in one solution. Discontinuing CounterSpy and Sunbelt Personal Firewall allows GFI to concentrate Sunbelt's development team on building a better, more robust, and complete solution with VIPRE. Current customers also enjoy a free upgrade to VIPRE Home :D !

    It sad to think I am preparing to uninstall it on each of my machines, I log onto my parents machine today and find out CounterSpy has cleaned up a trace of an old infection. This is the first time my stand alone anti-malware cleaned up a trace of a trojan infection.
