![]() Thus, unless they change, they should be ignored in the discussion. However there are lots of grey areas, and Comodo, in my view, just was way, way over the line once they went to legal intimidation against a download company simply being consistent and accurate. that is great (as is a no google-scareware-ad policy). If somebody has a "no toolbar" at all standard. And then Comodo made their situation intolerable with the absurd legal beagle bluster against Softpedia. The much bigger problem comes when the toolbars start to be stuffed in with dubious and confusing means. It would be better not to be there, of course. yet it is very clear what it is and you uncheck it. Piriform (CCleaner, Recuva, Defraggler) has a bar checked in the CCleaner install. Just to be clear, I do not consider a toolbar by itself to be a dealbreaker. There are probably a few more, but note that Comodo is the only one making real security software for free business use. The only company I know of that makes good freeware applications that allow for free business/corporate use are Opera Software, Mozilla, and Comodo. I will just say quickly that any company that is tricky with crapware installs loses the appellation of 'freeware'. We have a thread on DonationCoder that discusses this 'free-for-biz' issue, and any additional entries are welcome.Īnd the thread recommends Malwarebytes as one of the very few special-case "be sure to buy and register it commercial" products.Īs for Comodo, they are mentioned en passant and largely skipped over for reasons that really are not directly a Malwarebytes issues. None that are specifically active and current malware removal, and this is quite understandable. firewalls, a registry watcher, some hosts files programs, Avira has some of their techie tools as freely available, not the main anti-virus though). If I do not see a post, I will start a thread.Īs for security software, there are a number of good freebies for biz-commercial use (eg. Oh and again I didn't receive a message email from last two replies, (but did for the reply before that) so I'll just check back periodicallyįirst, I am a big fan of Malwarebytes, and right now I am researching the best small biz alternatives to register, also checking to see the licensing on the auxiliary software like StartupLite and FileAssasin. ![]() Sorry for the off topic, but that's the only thing, plus "Free" issue that I am concerned about Mind you, sometimes members "miss fixing" this, but then rescan, and the entries are already gone! So who knows (probably you guys)Īnyway, I do think this last log part and Fix could be changed a little I appreciate that it is wise to be aware of all detections found, and therefore Fix is not automaticīut I notice that 50% of the time (if not more) this is totally missed by the user ![]() I constantly must inform users to select all found issues and then select Fix to all Hey I thought of the only thing that annoys me a little, about the finished scan log (if detections are found) I'll keep an eye on the front page over time if it ever changes (wording) I'm very happy with the responses from all members, I did ask and I did receive If I don't receive any other replies, thanks again to all I would like to thank all those that took the time to read and reply I think at this stage I might just take swagger's post as the official word, " Free for personal use" As to fully "clean" your system many free programs may need to be run, and possibly even you may need your HijackThis Log checked, even right here on Malwarebytes forum. It's important also to state that although Malwarebytes (free version) does an excellent job at removing "Spyware Protect 2009 Alert", you may in fact still be infected. I am also grateful for having such a brilliant program for free, but manufactures use these free downloads as an advertising option, and it work By giving users a free download program, they do not need to advertise in the "normal" way that you and I may be familiar with (magazines etc) ![]() The "gratefulness" that you speak about is very important too I will let you know after supporting thousands of users computers both online and physically servicing someone's computer, that you do not need to purchase anything at all to remove Malware. Thanks RemoveMalware for your contribution, although not directly related to this thread
