RE: Devilin and the uninstall page
Cookie summed up everything very properly so I won't add anything except for:
quote:
blaming , either the user or the security programs, won't resolve this issue, it will just perpetuate it
true, however it still doesn't change the fact that as a developer, there's stricly nothing I can do to prevent another software from deleting the files from my sponsor package. The only thing I could do would be to detect Adaware (for example) and kill it while installing Plus!, which of course, would be totally unapropriate :). Appart from that, anythignelse is upto the anti-spyware companies. Theyarethe one who are creating the mess, they are the only ones who can solve the situation but as I said in my facts page, it's easy for them not to do a thing as almost everybody automatically points a finger to the adware itself. I never saw anybody complaining about Adaware causing problems on their system. This kind of software could almost delete the entire content of your Program Files directory and it would still be the fault of some adware. People got to open up their eyes a little. After all, while they're at it, why don't they just format your HD directly to get rid of the adware? you said ityourself, you had to reformat your system after the damage some of these tools made on your system.

btw, thank you for taking the time to have a nice and intelligent discussion, it is surely refreshing :).
