Msgale, I got your PM, although why not reply to me here, why does it have to be private we can have an open debate cant we.
Anyway persoanlly I feel this is posted in the wrong room,
This is for HJT Logs not Virus/Spyware discussions, maybe this would be better in the Virus forum

OK, I sent a PM because I felt that there was no need for the general public to be drawn a philosophy war between me and A-SAP. As anyone that has been following these forms for over a year is well aware, I am not your biggest fan not because of the work you do, which is commendable, but because of your, A-SAP’s, arrogance. I posted here because A-SAP on this thread has been recommending the use of trailware and shareware, without consideration being paid to those supplying the software. One of your members made a big issue of Ad-Aware dropping its support web site for the free version, that is arrogance, another member directly challenged right and an individual to post, since he, the poster, was not properly trained (what ever that means). That incident irritated me so much that I faxed two Vice Presidents at Dell headquarters, they responded by having an assistant call me to discuss the issue. Dell clearly stated to me that all those who post are equal and no non-Dell employee can stop anyone from posting. The thread was also removed, although I can not say whether it was done just by the moderator or at corporate direction. Now that I answered in my best Brooklynese, did you really want all this on an open thread?

Gale,
Let me say one thing in DEFENSE of Brooklyn, NY.
My mom is from Brooklyn, went to High School at Lincoln High and hung out at Brighton and Manhattan Beach.
My cousin still lives there and is my favorite cousin of the whole batch I have and had.
Brooklyn has nothing to do with you, you have just choosen to carry this BackPack of ANGER with you in life.
Happy Memorial Day386

First, I only posted my opinion of A-SAP because I was asked, my second post was a direct result of an A-SAP members question. Two, you are still not answering the question. Three, I went to high school in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Tech class of 1960.386

Ok, first a disclaimer:
I am a proud member of ASAP, and stand firm behind what it means
Now then,
Please tell me what shareware you are talking about.. I only know of 1 trialware program that I recommend:
TrojanHunter
Now, sometimes Kaparsky and Ewido AV is needed to fix a particular infection, but not as often
Secondly, shouldn't it be a GOOD thing for the companies of said products for us to recommend them? It add's more exposure to the program, and the OP might just continue to use the program. Besides, that is the point of shareware: to try something for free and see if you like it or not. There is NO obligation to buy something.
Just my 10 cents

Congratulations, the first actual reply. I accept the concept of try before you buy, but how many times should something be tried until you do buy it. As an example, how many users are using WinZip, without buying it? I also note that you registered today and this is your first and as of now only post. Are you planning to staay around and help other or are you here to post to this thread?
