Hi there,

So, just kind of annoyed here. I am at my parents house for the weekend, and on their network. Spybot has come up and told me that it detected there is another computer on the network with Spybot, and that my license is for only one user and I might be violating my terms of use.

Umm... I have my own copy that I paid for, and my parents have their own copy that they paid for... so, why harass paying customers? Is the application going to give this nasty message every time I logon to someone else's network where someone else has a copy of Spybot? I have been recommending spybot to people for a while now, (since about 2004?) and this is the first time I have seen this message from what I recall.

Can Spybot flag itself as spyware for being an intrusive spying application on its own paying customers? It certainly is insulting and rude.
