Hi all;
This ad is floating around the Internet:
" http:downloads.driversHQ.com" as well as "Download
Drivers.net". I believe it is abusive and spam. Please confirm my
accusation or exonerate the company. Thanks a lot!
Best!
Robb

So, you expect us to click on a link that might be abusive or spam do you?

Back in March that site Download Drivers.net was offering a file,
DriverGenius_rw.exe.different size than the real
Driver Genius which is a legitimate SHAREWARE title($29.95)found at
Softpedia the file is called drvgenpro.exe. Now the same site (Download
Drivers.net) and download link gives you a file
DriverDetective.exe.,again a legitimate shareware title($29.95) and again
a different size file than Softpedia's download.
If it looks like crap and smells like crap it's probably.......

Dear John'
Wow, I hit the crap pot! Thanks!:
(1) if anyone wanted to comment, how the dickens could they if i
did not supply the url, etc? ADVISE.
(2) i entered another site, also suspect, a few months ago and
DID NOT supply the suspect url, and got a chewing for that. DAMED IF
I DO, AND CHEWED IF I DONT.
(3) It used to be that via-a-vis freeware one could ask here. If
there is a new standard: ADVISE.
Best to those with civil words and I thank you sincerely!

Well Robb, since your post has nothing to do with Freeware, you should
have marked it OT anyway, arsehole.
John.

Dear Albert Einstein;
Thanks a lot, and I got my info. FYI to everyone: the drivers
purported to be FREEWARE. Unless warned off of it, i will continue to
send in sporadic Freeware sites for advise.
Love and peace and OSS!
