    im sure it is mait but i dont have time to read a 41 pages of thread however i just checked their forums n its dead so i guess its not a viable option anymore.

    BUT i do highly rescent the sexist remarks regarding Katie in the past and current as shes been of great support n its too bad some "pigs" cant look past the avatar. Jeez never seen a female before or what??

    N also as far as i know Katie left her position within DS to fill up another within the same company although have no clue about her current listing

    Spot on!
    But my oh my, them times they are a changing.
    When I wrote (in the old DS thread), that 'everyone likes a cute blonde for support questions', (hinting at ulterior motives for the apparant popularity) my post was moderated faster than an electron in the LHC.

    No I did not expect you to read every post, just skim through some of them. I was just sharing what happened with DriverSentry.

    Its ok man, their forums is inactive + my last experience with the app was far from pleasent. I just wish they would have speed up their bugfixes n come out strong - they surely had our backs, its too bad they couldnt make good use out of it.

    Last time I used it (about a year ago) it stopped updating. That was the complaint on the forum by other users too. They took the money and ran.

    Yeah amazingly their forum is still online and so it their website but it does not look like they are still updating it. Kinda sad because they had the potential to make it a very good program.

    The company is in liquidation. Dead. They ran out of small serviced offices in Nottingham, England, in contrast to their claim to have "major operations performed out of Nottingham". Their previous trading name was "Rogue Concept"!!

    Was it a scam? Hmmm...maybe. A very well executed one if it was.

    i wouldnt say it was a rogue, it worked and was pretty good when it was up to date and in developement, i guess they just couldnt get the company working, bad business plan i suppose?

    I had a lot of hopes for DriveSentry. I used it for a while. The last i checked nothing had changed with the program in like 4 years. Its development didn't seem to be going anywhere. If they would have keep working on it, and evolving with change then maybe it would have been a more successful product.

    So I. I simply always believed that they were two developers, and they were not able to continue DS; may be it was their second business, not the main.
