Gator sues software firm that calls it Spyware
by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor
Everybody knows Gator stands for spyware, but Gator lives in a world where reality doesn't exist. They think they're not in the spyware business, and they're willing to sue companies to try to prove it...
- In an effort to improve its corporate reputation, adware company Gator
has launched a legal offensive to divorce its name from the hated term
"spyware"--and so far its strategy is paying off.
- In response to a libel lawsuit, an antispyware company has settled
with Gator and pulled Web pages critical of the company, its practices
and its software.
- And other spyware foes are getting the message.
- The defendant in the Gator libel suit, PC Pitstop, offers software to
cleanse computers of spyware and other undesirable code, and until
signing a preliminary settlement with Gator on Sept. 30, vociferously
targeted Gator's application.
