180solutions fails to follow through on its threats – again
Adware maker 180solutions has dropped it’s lawsuit against security vendor ZoneLabs.
The vendor's ZoneAlarm application labelled 180solutions' software as malware that monitors user keystrokes and mouse movements. That is wrong, 180solutions claimed, and they are actually right. 180solutions makes a malicious application that presents users with pop-up ads and is nearly impossible to remove. Tar and feather them for that, but not for committing identity theft.
The company claims that it's dropping the suite because "ZoneAlarm downgraded its classification of 180solutions' S3-enabled search assistant software."
180solutions' lawsuits are starting to look like paper tigers. The company last year also sued a group of seven former distributors who illegally installed the 180solutions software on computers they had hacked and by doing so collected plenty of affiliate fees. That suit too was soon dropped.
It seems like the company doesn't want to spend the money to actually pursue its legal claims. Instead it's using the court system to generate PR and create the impression that it is an honourable business.
Honour however is deserved through outstanding customer service and by delivering a product that consumers actually want. 180solutions fails to qualify for either one.

Had been thinking about Lindsey's new vibram fivefingers ever since she posted about them on this blog. When she first sent me a photo of these bizarre looking vibram five,I just laughed at their vibram fivefingers ridiculousness, thinking 'no way I'll ever put those things on my five finger feet! But alas, once I saw them and read about them, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I had to try them for myself. Last week I went to Blue five fingers Ridge Mountain Sports in Charlottesville, VA and tried on a pair of fivefingers kso. I tried both the Classics and the Sprints, but I liked the arch and heel support in the Sprints much vibram shoes better. Like my sister, I impulsively purchased a pair on the vibram five finger spot. Obviously I had to try them out right vibram finger away, so I mixed a little bit of walking and vibram five fingers running in since I had read many reviews explaining you need to vibram five fingers shoes gradually adjust your muscles to barefoot running.Running in these five fingers shoe is amazing. I actually am not a running fan, but these shoes make it feel more vibram five fingers fluid
