    Enigma

    have done themselves WAY more damage with this *fiasco than by touting the shit they call "software".

    I fully support BC and suggest everyone donate $5 to support them.

    BC are a much more useful repository of info than enigma will ever be..

    *Streisand effect.

    Bleeping thankful

    Siding with Bleeping on this one. They've pulled my hiney out of the fire way too often to leave'm hanging. I don't think I've ever heard of spy hunter (aside from the old video game...)

      Bleeping Computer is a *bleeping* good friend of mine

      Enigma can eat large steaming piles of *bleep*. Suing BC is like suing the ambulance driver who brought you to the hospital in time for a life-saving operation. I hope Enigma is driven out of the market or heavily penalized for its peevish antics. As I once said in a previous post, you should never use any software which has *spy* in the name.

        Scratch Spybot S&D off that list. It's a honest product.

    I miss the good old days when duels were an acceptable form of mediation...

    Anyway, thanks to Enigma (and Barbara Streisand) to have enabled me to discover 'Bleeping Computer', which seems a very interesting online resource.

    I donated $20 to bleeping computer. I hope they win.

    The only way you can lose at court is to not show up; not respect the process; not take it dead serious. If you observe these 3 simple points the courts bend over backward to accommodate you & listen to your (truthful) arguments.

    Bleeping Computer has always been a reliable resource

    I have benefited (read: had my ass and data saved) from the information supplied by BC many times. Enigma who? Spy Hunter what? BC wins...no contest. Enigma, you embarrass yourselves badly with this.
