The september issue of Consumer Reports contains a test on anti spyware products. Sadly, the persons who conducted the test were not really working concentrated I guess, since while recommending our product, they printed a wrong URL. If you visit the URL Consumer Reports printed, you'll reach one of the fraud sites mentioned in our August 4th news.
That in itself might have been a typo or mistake, but since we received a lot of emails from people who fell for the fraud site, we contacted Consumer Reports with the plea to please warn people about the wrong URL in their next issue. Consumer Reports - who as an nonprofit organization for consumers should have a real interest to help their readers - didn't even care to answer our requests.
Update: Things get even more confusing: we've now got three people quoting the magazine to show spybot.info correctly, and six people telling that it shows safer-networking.com. With communications with Consumer Reports not possible, we're not really sure if these are different prints with the error corrected while things were in print, or differences between print/electronic versions.
