Ad-Aware Remover/Trojanwannabe

Interesting article. Seems malicious programs have a problem with anti-spyware programs now.

Is spyware or this kind of activity in a program considered illegal and can any legal actions be taken against the person who made this type of program...?

Couldnt this be considered some what illegal in any way?

Someone has nailed me with neg points for this. The reason I had to hold off was because I had already assigned Kat some points in another post (and forgot about doing it) so I have to spread my points around again.

just installed ad-aware 5.8, and i was suprised at the crap that it found in my registry. I "tested" ad-aware after install and was a bit disappointed that it didn't stop pop-up ads tho. Is this a feature in the licensed version?

TIA

I think this program had some kind of warning in its license that said it would delete Ad-aware if you installed. I don't know about the legality part, but it certainly is tricky.
