This is gettiong ridiculous. So much free stuff is becoming pay stuff. SpywareBlaster now requires a $10 a year payment if you want autoupdate. I cna update myself, but that would be cnveinient. Anyone know if a key(gen) exists for it? I'd use keygen out of spite for them trying to make money off this thing. Be happy with the donations...

You ungrateful bastard. They're doing great work @ Wilders Security & Javacool. The manual updates are STILL free. STFU. :angry:

Why don"t you make your own program then...that way you could give it away free to millions of people...for Christ sake...do know how much it costs to develop and distribute a program, SpywareBlaster is one of the most used freeware utilities..do you actually think that the donations cover it...all their asking is to cover the automatic updates...if you don"t like that idea then a simple solution is don"t use it...most people prefer to manuel update anyway as to have control of what is downloaded onto their systems...give me a break...the only reason you want a keygen is to spite them..the truth is your just a cheap shit,or you wouldn"t have even posted the subject :devil:

Actually I meant downloading cracked/seperate updates or something like that. I heard you can do stuff like that for Norton, so I figured it'd be the same thing here. I had only read part of an article saying that they were charging for it (didn't read very deep, just saw charging and SpywareBlaster), did not actually DL it and see for myself. I got it now, and see it has the same update feature it had before. Please excuse how quickly and hastily I jumped to the conclusions of my first post, this is very out of character for myself. I just got a little pissed when I saw the article.

straight out apology would have sufficed nicely, we all F**k up and say stupid shit, no need for all the wriggling about tho, he was bold enough to post it, should be bold enough to put his hands up, - I reckon Dwells you should do the decent thing and send spywareblaster the 10 bucks for the crappy abuse you gave em, and everyone will forgive and forget ;) the damn least is a straight apology without excuses ;)

I concur. Special apologies are due to Wilders Security & Javacools software. Two entities protecting us all.

Okay, I apologize, But those weren't excuses. I misinterpreted the article. From now on I will read things more thouroughly. I just donated $5 to JavaCool through PayPal at their donate page (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblasterdonate.html). Anyone know why there hasn't been any updates for SpywareGuard in about a month or so?

Edit: Actually, it says my definitions (1/22/04) are up to date. 3 months seems like a bit old..

Why complain even if they started charging?

DWells55

Because it really is a shame how so many freewares are getting greedy and becoming payware. Best example: DeadAIM. Update once every 6 months or so, no real tech support, very rude forum, and much better free software available (AIMutation, middle_man). Not to mention the very little effort involved in making it better. And it annoys me how there are so many crap spyware scanners that you have to pay for. Luckily this was not the case, and once again I apologize for my misinterpretation of the AutoUpdate fee. SpywareBaster is great software, which is why I donated $5.

You do mean this Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/index.html) don't you?

I cant see it mentioning $10 anywhere on the website.

Although I do know expect it to be pointed out to me <_< :lol:

edit - I found it myself :lol: oh dear

:lol: LMAO&#33;&#33;&#33; :lol: good one... :lol:

dude, it does cost ppl time at the least to develope these apps, sometimes even money...
autoupdate is just a luxury, so look at it as a luxury tax :lol:
they are offering a little extra, so asking for a little extra, no biggie
and look at any release groups included info...
they all suggest that YOU BUY THE APP IF YOU LIKE IT
just a suggestion if course, but....
without the money from sales, these companies would go belly up...
and then you would have NO software to bitch about having to pay for...
because there would be none....period....
and no, i dont fkn work for any fkn software company,
and yes i DO use cracked software,
i just happen to agree with the logic of what they say,
and if the opportunity arises i would pay for the apps that i find usefull,
to help further development for software that i find usefull

Well, as you can see from my previous post, I donated my &#036;5. It&#39;s not the first time I&#39;ve donated before, I donated to my favorite clan server. I&#39;m not even a clan member but I donate. And I have purchased some of the stuff I cracked. For example, MoH: AA. Cracked for the single player, loved it, and went out and bought it and started to love multi. Another example, I downloaded Soul Calibur for DC. I really enjoyed it, so I went out and bought Soul Calibur II for GCN. The majority of the things I crack are things which I do not use very often (i.e. and AVI to gif converter). Once again, I apologize about the original post. SpywareBlaster is very good software, and the new GUI is great. I recommend it to those who don&#39;t have it. Does anyone else have SpywareGuard? I have it, but there hasn&#39;t been new definitions for 3 months... Is this just my computer?

Umm.. what do you mean you &#39;just realized&#39;? I don&#39;t see an &#39;edited&#39; thingy at the bottom of your post. YOu&#39;re just trying to cover your lazy ass :lol:
