That is pretty bad that a site was sued for calling a piece of Adware "Adware" :P. What will they think of next? Actually, alot of anti-spyware companies are getting sued by spyware/adware vendors to get their "product" taken off of the black list...

Did you read pcpitstop's? I mean they are'nt going to sue. But at the time Pcpitstop was connected to PC magazine and I think they tried to sue them becuaase it would bring alot of press. Like Andtech was almost sued, just saying its a shame these company's know what there doing is wrong (for the most part) and they try to sue you for trying to fix the stuff the proggies break
