Spyware Warrior » iDownload’s Product is not malware?

Spyware Warrior » iDownload’s Product is not malware?
OK, I saw a post on Google Groups of some poor guy trying to uninstall Google Toolbar, but was stuck with iSEARCH still.....he was thinking Google Toolbar was ISEARCH...so, I went searching of course...well, it brought me to Wilders Security...a post that mentioned ISEARCH and how supposidely Lavasoft, and well, now Spyware Warrior have gotten "cease & Desist" notices for labeling as "Spyware"....well...if these law firms have enough push to get Lavasoft, and various other anti-spyware apps/companies to remove ISEARCH from their Definitions, I have a feeling MICROSOFT's AntiSpyware is going to be the next best anti-spyware solution. You may ask WHY? Well...obviously, Microsoft has MONEY that Safer-Networking, Spyware Warrior, Lavasoft, etc do NOT have....so who is going to file a lawsuit against a corporation like Microsoft?....kind of lame...

I've always had good luck with the combination of Spybot S&D, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, and then HiJackThis for general analysis...but if these spyware corporations can send off cease and desist letters to get "unlisted" from definitions....NOBODY is safe...and well, as noted above, what's the chance of them going to court against the huge mammoth, Microsoft?
