CyberDefender - how can they defend themselves?

From Clif:

I'll be honest with you. Sometimes I don't care if a program is AdWare, DonationWare, FreeWare or any of the other various WAREs out there. If I like it and the cost (not always money) is right, I may still use it. If the authors of the program are up front and don't lie to me about what the program is doing, then at least I know what I'm are getting. The decision is mine to make.

Trust plays a large role in this decision.

If the authors of the program lie to us, or tell us the program does one thing and it does something else, then they risk the wrath of the righteous software users out there.

Steven Burns, webmaster of it-mate, found a case of the authors who lied. Thank you Steven, you are a righteous man.

Quote from Steven Burns:

I first found out about CyberDefender due to a contest at CastleCops.

 

One of the first things that made me suspicious about it however, is that the "free" version contains adverts. Not suprisingly, quite a few of us began questioning the fact it was permitted as one of the prizes for the competition. Eventually, we were told the version being given away for the competition, was a full licence without adverts.

 

Join me for the next few minutes as we find out how this is not the case.
