Spyware Maker Sues Anti-Spyware Maker

Trolas 05-19-2007

An 'online media company' Zango, which gained notoriety for redirecting adult affiliate traffic and the first ever MySpace worm, is now suing the anti-spyware vendor PC Tools, maker of an application called 'Spyware Doctor', for removing Zango applications off the consumers' PCs. 'According to a posting on a blog called Spamnotes.com, Zango is seeking at least $35 million in damages, alleging that Spyware Doctor removes Zango's software without warning users that it will be deleted. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in King County Superior Court in Seattle, according to Spamnotes.com. Formerly known as 180solutions, Zango is trying to clean up its tarnished reputation. In November it paid $3 million to settle U.S. Federal Trade Commission charges that its software was being installed deceptively on PCs.'

OMG This is classic. I never even thought about that. A virus or adware maker suing McAfee or Microsoft for their anti spyware and virus protectoin. I would really like to see who wins this. Damn if they win I'm making some.

This could be one of those cases that could chane alot of of whats going online. It would be a shame for your computer to start getting infect with virii and adware only becuase its against the last to block them. I would like an update on this when its over but that would be months from now.
