LavaSoft Gone Corrupt??

I log onto my favorite newsgroups today and what to my wondering eyes appear is a thread with multiple links to reports that LavaSoft (makers of AdAware a trusted antispyware program) has quietly removed detection for WhenU which is a well known abusive spyware/malware threat. No one was notified and no one knew about it untill the Eric L. Howes from spywareinfo.com found it. Questions regarding this dasterdly deed to their msg boards as of this post have been ignored and deleted. www.spywareinfo.com does alot of spyware application testing over there and its certainly worth a look if you are new to fighting malware threats to your computer. There is a lot of bullshit rogue spyware apps out there and this site does a good job of listing them and which ones are usefull and which ones you need to avoid like the plague. This finding regarding LavaSoft really makes me wonder who you can really trust when it comes to fighting the scourge of the modern age called marketing. I am going to investigate some of the other spyware/malware tools that I use and see if there is any issues with them.
