Well I thank you for your detailed and professional way of posting. We often get things like:
'You suck, i hate you, you gave me a virus'
I also feel strongly about adware. I don't think anti-virus companies portray it right. A lot just simple detect it as a trojan, when it is not. They don't tell you what the program may do. More clear guidelines would stop people pancing. I mean what is a virus nowadays?
C2LOP is not the best adware company. But the software Patchou uses is heavily stripped. I guess you have to take the bad with the good. I agree with you on some levels, because the sponsor is giving the program a bad name. I'm sure Patchou would get rid of it if he could find a better way to make money from his program
People don't seem to give him many offers, I'm sure if he done his research he could make more money without annoying users as much. Maybe he can make a deal with Microsoft in some way, they tend to bundle a lot of things in their installations
