[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 877033, member: 83059"] I totally understand that and I think that’s a sensible policy and motivation for an AV vendor to take. The part I was trying to tug on was that it’s not just a matter of stupid users of pirated software tend to ignore their AV.... that is arguably a side effect from how AV signatures throughout history has flagged both Trojans and non-harmful piracy tools in much the same way. I think it’s entirely justifiable for both sides. As someone who sometimes uses such tools, nothing has replaced manual malware analysis. There hasn’t been a single scanner I can send it through and feel confident about whether it’s malware or just a piracy tool. [/QUOTE]
