OK, I’ll admit that I put that link to that spywareguide.com page (offering a kind of summary description of Zango and links to “Removal tools”) in my post at least partly to tweak you . And X-Cleaner, one of the tool links, does go for the "low Web price of $29.95!"

I’m a regular reader of your blog (http://smithkl42.blogspot.com/2007/07/real- people.html) and I’ve been wondering how long it would take you to find mine. I’ve posted a response to yours back on my blog, but I wanted to add here that I do appreciate your efforts to be accurate. I don’t know that I would have expected the words “I’ve even defended Zango” to come out of your mouth, but I won’t complain when they do .

Perhaps the CTO of a major online presence would do better to continue to police their affiliates and ensure the sorts of nonsense we saw in 2005 and 2006 continue to stay off radar, rather than attempting to "tweak" a well known security researcher.

If you wanted him to read your blog so badly, couldn't you have just sent him an email?

As for X Cleaner going for the "low web price of 29.95", I don't really see the relevance to the point at hand - a lot of applications in the security field are sold for a lot more money, so its quite accurate.
