Computer Security - Unique Freeware Website

Default Unique Freeware Website


There are lot's of good freeware sites out there, however, this one is a
bit unique in two ways.

1. The main purpose of this site is to sift through the hundreds of open
source and freeware programs available and list only the best ones. I
receive RSS feeds from various sources and get the latest news on new
developements. Comodo Personal Firewall and ZipGenius are examples of
immediate daily updates to this site as they happen.

2. Very easy to sift through the programs and find what you are looking
for. I find this action cumbersome at most sites.

Those two characteristics make this site a simple quick way to find the
best programs along with a bit more than just software.

It's only SPAM if your selling something...I don't sell anything. This
site is simply FREE and I think well organized.

It is spam because it was NOT requested information and your posting it all over the place !

The fact that objects on the web site has no bearing on its being spam.

Please refrain from spamming a web site to merely increase the number of "hits".

But its YOUR site and you are shoving it in our faces and this
newsgroup is about COMPUTER SECURITY not freeware or websites
so you are a spammer, the lowest of the low, and when someone
tells you nicely you want to argue ?

Who cares about hits. I get nothing for them. This is a free offering of
help.

And it is still spam. If I want Free Comodo software, I'll go to their web site.
http://www.personalfirewall.trustix.com/

Now if someone posted a query looking for a web site about free security software and you
replyed, that would be a whole different matter. That's not the case here, you are clearly
spamming the web site.

The definition of spam is purposely vague because everybody has his or her
own definition. As it currently stands, spam is in the eye of the beholder.

In this case, my post is relevant to the ng, as I target security progs and
offer progs that really stand out, along with a lot more. It is a helpful
site, only that and I get nothing.

I'm not arguing...I made a simple post...that's it. You should check out
my suggestions for a security suite on the site...and the online virus
scans, and the free tech support forums, all suggestions which goes a bit
beyond the simple listing of programs. I like suggestions as to the
quality of choices.

It is a simple offering of effort.

I don't find the website is spam, if you want to say that it is badly
designed or the links suck, then fine, but there is no selling and there
is not even advertisements where money could be made.

The website contains links that maybe of interest, maybe you know all
products there already but not everyone, and as far as I can see he
did not crosspost.

And on everysingle post you have this two websites as a signature, that
probably is more spam than his single one group advert which by they way
is as much on topic as your websites in the signature.

I reccomend from now on he puts his website at the bottom of his signature
on everysingle post so people like you stop moaning.
