  1. Hi Folks, Question : StartupLite FileASSASSIN RegASSASSIN are these (separate from Anti-Malware), ok for commercial use ? With the regular copyright, acknowledgement, no modification types of license. Simply for in-house acknowledged use. Similar question on specialty remove tools : AboutBuster - http://malwarebytes.org/aboutbuster.php Note sure if there are other active and current ones that are Malwarebytes. Thanks. We have a list of free-for-biz software on DonationCoder and I would like to know especially if the three above can be given. Malwarebyte's AntiMalware is given special note as a commercial product that should be considered for biz licsensing. Thanks ! Shalom, Steven Avery
  2. Hi Folks, Just to be clear, I do not consider a toolbar by itself to be a dealbreaker. Piriform (CCleaner, Recuva, Defraggler) has a bar checked in the CCleaner install .. yet it is very clear what it is and you uncheck it. It would be better not to be there, of course. The much bigger problem comes when the toolbars start to be stuffed in with dubious and confusing means .. Comodo and PDF Creator come to mind. And then Comodo made their situation intolerable with the absurd legal beagle bluster against Softpedia. If somebody has a "no toolbar" at all standard .. that is great (as is a no google-scareware-ad policy). However there are lots of grey areas, and Comodo, in my view, just was way, way over the line once they went to legal intimidation against a download company simply being consistent and accurate. Thus, unless they change, they should be ignored in the discussion. Oh, my questions .. are StartupLite, File Assassin and similar utilities, separate from Anti-Malware, ok for commercial use ? With the regular copyright, acknowledgement, no modification types of license. Shalom, Steven Avery
  3. Hi Folks, First, I am a big fan of Malwarebytes, and right now I am researching the best small biz alternatives to register, also checking to see the licensing on the auxiliary software like StartupLite and FileAssasin. If I do not see a post, I will start a thread. As for security software, there are a number of good freebies for biz-commercial use (eg. firewalls, a registry watcher, some hosts files programs, Avira has some of their techie tools as freely available, not the main anti-virus though). None that are specifically active and current malware removal, and this is quite understandable. We have a thread on DonationCoder that discusses this 'free-for-biz' issue, and any additional entries are welcome. And the thread recommends Malwarebytes as one of the very few special-case "be sure to buy and register it commercial" products. As for Comodo, they are mentioned en passant and largely skipped over for reasons that really are not directly a Malwarebytes issues. I will just say quickly that any company that is tricky with crapware installs loses the appellation of 'freeware'. Shalom, Steven Avery The only company I know of that makes good freeware applications that allow for free business/corporate use are Opera Software, Mozilla, and Comodo. There are probably a few more, but note that Comodo is the only one making real security software for free business use.
