    Wayne - "you might want to write back to them to ask how they obtained their samples of Spectorsoft's products. "

    Does it matter? If they obtained theirs the same way you obtained yours - that makes them neither better nor worse than you (just quicker).

    If they purchased the product to enable them to include detection, then I APPLAUD them, for they've provided protection for everyone who uses their program. LEGITIMATELY, by buying the program.

    Wayne - "There's also moral issues - we don't believe virus detection companies should be paying virus authors for writing malware."

    Apples and oranges (we're not talking about "viruses" to start with) - SpectorSoft's product is commercially available and has legitimate uses - it is only when the product is maliciously MIS-used (when placed on someone's machine unbeknownst to them for evil purposes) that it falls into the "malware" category.

    Wayne - "losing sleep over one individual keylogger that's tame compared to other keyloggers is just a waste of everyones time, yours and mine included."

    Really? I wonder if some un-suspecting personal computer user who gets all of his passwords, credit-card numbers and banking information stolen by a program like SpectorSoft's that WASN'T detected by his security software would feel that way?

    Somehow I doubt it.

    I liked your statement in another thread ( #81 https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=26109&page=4 ) much more:

    Wayne - Oops! You edited out the part where you suggested that people use a dedicated anti-keylogging program to ensure having a clean computer before relying on ProcessGuard to protect them. Wow. How totally un-cool. And totally beneath you.

    The truth plays much better.

    ... says the anonymous user hiding behind a proxy. How credible indeed.

    Anyway, this thread has been resolved so we'll let our bored friend here get back to looking for other places to start arguments.
