Hey Hey,

I definately appreciated that read..... I laughed the entire way through it... primarily because it sounds like a discussion with my boss. The problem is that in this world they feel the need to put non-technical people in technical positions and they know one or two concrete things and think that means they know everything.

Other than that, I'd tend to agree with Und3ertak3r. The response to your PR department had one purpose... to be distributed amongst your employees or possibly be published in the next issue of your newsletter... Why do you think that Futureshop and Best Buy sell AdAware for 49.99... and AV Software for damn near 100 bucks... Because people don't know how to find their own free software... by distributing these links, you're costing her company business... A buddy of mine in the tech dept. at one of the Futureshops here in town said that AV/malware Cleanings are their biggest business... The same is probably true for this womans company. By giving people access to free information... and free products, you're cutting into the profits of her business... A technician at a small company that needs it's customers will tell you that windows 98 is the greatest OS in the world if they think you'll pay them to install it..

Anyways.. thanks for the read and keep us informed of any updates.

Peace,
