    The following is posted on the Spybot S & D website:

    "InBox Inc. has registered the domain spybot.com and makes it look like people would have to register there to get a copy of Spybot-S&D. Spybot-S&D is free to use and doesn't need any registration, so please don't be fooled by spybot.com!
    In addition, InBox Inc. has announced to get a trademark on the name Spybot, and threatens legal consequences, including the threat to stop us from using the name Spybot - Search & Destroy.
    Until this situation has been settled, I asked you to boykott spybot.com and InBox Inc.!

    Second, the domain safer-networking.com has been registered by a dialer company. As you may now, Safer Networking is the name of another project of mine to offer Spybot-S&D downloads and mirror services. Please understand that safer-networking.com is a completely different thing! "

    Isn't it amazing how fast the leeches and bloodsuckers rise from the bottom of the barrel to steal the good's when someone gets a good workable/helpfull idea and offers it to the world free of charge!!!!
    :mad:

    BTW there's a new Spybot update available today.

    But... the FIRST thing you should do when you start a new project is to get the domain name associated with it!

    If you don't, you know sooner or later this is going to happen!

    Like in real life, the Internet is full of people waiting for an oportunity to make a quick buck :(

    Hi Arie

    Yeah 10-4

    That is the first thing I thought about. What was he thinking by not registering several names including SpyBotSD etc.

    True, in addition to being the information Super Hiway, and because it is, the internet is a commercially based and is a money making opportunity.

    What they are doing, why they are doing it, and how they are doing it, is not illegal but it is still slimy!
