    Bleeping computer has a long standing for fairness and quality information.
    Their reviews to the best of my knowledge always give methods used and the finding they get.
    A review is kind of a opinion with facts to back it up.
    Enigma Software is just trying to big dollar them. Keep driving the legal cost up, trying to make Bleeping Computer say uncle.

    There seems to be a war against whistle blowers these days & the powers that be want all sorts of action taken against them.

    But whistle blowers in most cases protect us from the bad practices & excesses of business & government.

    In the case of BeepingComputer, if the software they reviewed had problems then the world should know about it & good on them for saying so.

    I see your location is Asia.
    Could you let us know what country in Asia?
    Just curious.

    If one does a little research online you will find lots of forums and reviews of SpyHunter.
    Their really isn't a lot of good things said about SpyHunter by many.
    I find a few that state it's kind of the middle of the road program and one can get better for free using other brands of security programs.

    If Enigma Software plans on taking to court all the places I have seen that doesn't think much of their products their lawyers are going to be very busy.

    I'm thinking Enigma Software should spend more time and money making their products better and less time dancing in and out of court.

    Just my thoughts and opinion.

    Well said Jack it's as if they don't want people to have an opinion, unless it's in their favour, and no one is allowed to know if a program is up to scratch and can do the job they claim.

    If the SSA (Squabbling States of America) would require the loser of a lawsuit to pay the legal costs of all parties in a lawsuit, frivolous and nuisance lawsuits like this one would all but disappear.
