Hello everyone,
I'm a PC Tech for my company and I've been tasked with finding a cost effective anti-spyware program for our systems to use. At the present time we have close to 800 PCs running in the company, split between laptops and desktops. I have two questions concerning the user of Spybot-S&D:
First, is this software legal for use on an Enterprise level aspect? Many free programs are free to use under the restriction that it's used for personal use only. Is that the case here or can the software be legally used by a company?
Second, could I get a quote on the cost of using the software? I know that the creator wants to keep the software free to use, but if the VP of my department hears that, she'll do everything she can to abuse that aspect of the program. She's a real cheap bitc... uh, she's a very inexpensive individual and I know for a fact that she would never donate any funds to the Spybot-S&D creator. Is there any way I can get in touch with the programmer to receive an "official" cost for purchasing "licenses" to use in our company so he's getting something for his hard work?
Thanks,
Tryon
