I believe the company (the <em>publisher</em>, not the software developer) in question wasn't just trying to stop direct downloading leechers, but prevent nonsubscribers from obtaining the access portal URL. Sisyphean task, that, but why make waves for GAOTD if there's no need? As for this particular software, I wouldn't install it in the first place because of the known quirk it has of telling you to DELETE other software. No way I'm using anything that tells me to get rid of decent progs. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3546#post-36807 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:42:00 +0000 sukibabe 36807@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>got the link already!</p> <p>Did you also delete my post too!

The link provided does NOT direct you straight to the download link, so actually no 'rules' have been broken.</p> <p>2. For those who wish to download the 'PC Tools Internet Security 2008' program, there are (at least) two snags which may deter some from continuing. Prior to actually downloading a warning is clearly stated. If you already have Avast! anti virus and/or COMODO Firewall, it advises that those programs are deleted from your computer first, because they will conflict with PC Tools Internet Security and cause instability on your computer!</p> <p>Very sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hopefully this information will save some of you time and effort.
