[QUOTE="spaceoctopus, post: 614126, member: 24974"] You are right and your point is perfectly valid. Of course the behavior of the company doesn't define the quality of the product, in terms of coding and features. But still a company's behavior is important. You cannot seperate it from the products they sell. Look at IOBIT, i personnally find their products to be quite effective. But some , and many articles tell you to be cautious about their products. Of course it's not malware. Try to imagine a case where ESET decides to integrate IOBIT features into their products. Eset fans would start getting crazy. In terms of marketing you are right too.But understand that difference. Emsisoft like many other products sends usage statistics to increase the efficiency and stability of the product. To that they add the possibility, for the user, to see what are the data that are sent to their servers. It's a kind of marketing too, but lets say it's more on the right side than the other. People love their product, buy it simply because of that. Now Ashampoo. There is nothing bad, for a company to do some marketing. But not by bombarding you with Pop ups and advertisements, which sometimes freezes your Pc. We are more into some deception here. Take the case of Avast.They advertise their paid products in their free antivirus. There is no problem with that, it's not intrusive.You want to buy a more powerful version or not,it's cool,it's your choice. And then, a company cannot all year long give you giveaways...with their best features in it. It goes in contradiction with paying for the same product.Why do this or that??..... It's simple logic. Of course, you decide wether you want to use the product or not. You may whitelist it, to avoid being blocked. But i think Malwarebytes is right in the sense that these products are a bit too much on the deceptive side. Making more cash at all cost. Doing whatever they can to squeeze more revenue.That's the point. And to finish, you are again right, they need to improve their product.But i would say in terms of stability and performance. I find it to be doing a great job in terms of protection. Of course, better detections is always appreciated:) [/QUOTE]
