[QUOTE="plat, post: 1036979, member: 74969"] The developer had to fend off this accusation before. [URL='https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/wisevector-stop-x.431502/page-20#post-2952246']Example[/URL] I mean: the chief developer charmed so many here and at Wilders, gathering many supporters and testers. Some felt "used" afterward as the developer then let the product slide and gave a terse, canned explanation only after several months of radio silence--saying the focus was now on enterprise products. I think like the Kaspersky thing there was concern that WV could be subverted by its respective government. I just don't think in this case there were enough users of the product to justify that. Certainly WAY less than Kaspersky's base. There's another Chinese product here as well: Huorong Internet Security. Is that maintained as well? Anyone still using it? It's hard not to draw a line or two between WiseVector and the TikTok revelation, especially with current news events. Edit: I just REALLY noticed this for the first time. WiseVector never got a Developer's title on his avatar at Wilders. He had the "Registered Member" designation, like almost everyone else. You can see this in the embedded link in the "Example" above.:unsure: [/QUOTE]
