you could patent the specific shape of a turd. Doesn't change what it is.

We have for international patents pending and based on 2 years of market research no one does what we do, at the same success level

Let's make a deal.
You keep improving your product, and when it IS at the stage, when my computer is not called "dysfunctional" for no reason, please post back, and I'll run another test.
Until then, nothing is gonna change my initial imrpession, and that's pretty much end of the story.

That's exactly what is planned. I would appreciate an explanation on this WOT system, if you don't mind. As for your opinion of the product I was looking to answer some very hard hitting questions, which I hope I have (to some extent). Also, the forum gave good ideas on how to do this. So thanks, once it is done we will be happy to revert to you.

Sincerely,

OK. This is WOT web site: http://www.mywot.com/, where you can find all details.
In simple words, it's Firefox, and IE add-on, which displays security ratings about the site, you visit, or a list of sites found through Google, for instance. Colors are pretty obvious, I assume.

If you care about your company reputation, you should never allow  red sites to hosts your direct download links.

BTW...another security rating add-on, which is also popular with other people is McAfee Site Advisor, so you may want to check with them, as well, before providing your links to anyone.

Broni,

Thanks for the tip. This is certainly new to me. We used a software distribution company, seems this is a bit of a double edged sword.

What is?

The software distribution company used to spread our product, them sending it out to unreputable sites.

I'd just like to say that, even with all the best intentions in the world, you can still have the worst possible outcome. I have a feeling this is going to drag on for a looooong time. I, personally, have plenty of machines I could test this on. The problem, is, however, that I am relying on my brothers wireless network, and the only wireless adapter I have is in this machine. Bit of a hassle to pull it just for the sake of argument.

Anyway, simply put, Nicholas, as I said, even the best of intentions can have the worst outcome. Developing a product is like raising a child, the outcome is hardly ever anywhere near predictable, and its never an easy journey. If you raise it wrong, even with all the best intentions, things can, and will most likely turn out horribly. Point being, simply, watch who you trust with your companies name. Not everyone holds respect for other peoples work.

Well said.

I personally don't have a problem with what your doing. There are way too many malware writers, spammers and con artists out there. Developing a legitimate tool, even if some don't like it, is much more noble than just out right trying to rip people off. And I do believe that is not your intentions. There are many other all-in-one "fix it" tools around that aren't free and promise great results. Microsoft One-Care for example. They have had obstacles along the way as well and not everyone thinks they are worth a dime but many people do rely on them and are happy. That's what matters most.

Yeah, I think, you have to control them better.
Just think for a moment. What people will say, if they find your downloading links on sites full of malware-ridden programs?
I think, it's very important for startup companies like yours.

just to clarify, that wasn't a direct metaphor- I wasn't comparing your product to a turd. 

Come to think of it, I don't think I would fall under the target market anyway... and I believe somebody said that too.

[Dead_reckon]

I don't think anyone in this forum falls under the "Target Group" for this specific product.

excepting of course the people that come here for the free computer help. (the less tech-savvy ones)

[Dead_reckon]

Yeah, that is true. But, as I said above, even the best intentions can result in disaster.
