Adware Pro
|
|
Adware Pro (www.adwarepro.org) claims it has been awarded a Web User Gold Award and features our 2006 logo to endorse its product.
Web User has not reviewed this product nor have we granted it permission to use our award logo.
Our legal team is aware of this, but I wanted to let you know that we have not recommended Adware Pro.
You can find all our award winners over the last three years at www.webuser.co.uk/2007awardwinners.

Thats a good point OurStanley, I also thought some of their recent removals from the list wasn't justified.

MadelineI've already mentioned Marcin's blog elsewhere in the forum but it doesn't hurt to have it posted twice. Great stuff here.

Thanks for the link Ray, I don't think I've seen t before, but I may have forgotten! It was both fascinating and scary and has been bookmarked.
