These are necessary because they are what allow our paid members to continue to access the site. Nothing more. Agent.dll reads the reg ID. Thats it. We run a sucessfull legit business and have for a long time. We are not fly by night and plan on continuing to give users a great value and makle our partners huge profits.
When you uninstall something, it should be uninstalled. If I'm correct, don't you also leave two executables on the computer, itbill.exe and mpp2pl.exe? I apologize if this has been changed in the last month.

We spent months going throught the process of becoming Norton trusted software (adware/spyware free-complete discloser). We HAVE been running as trusted software for many months. About two weeks ago Norton began MISflagging us. We are in contact with them and the issue is being resolved as quickly as possible.
I think Norton is the least of your worries. Every major Spyware/Adware/Virus remover flags your software. As for MISflagging, I have a feeling you are going to have a tough time getting off their list. Besides matching their criteria for malware, MediaPipe has also been listed as one of the 4 worst offenders on the web by StopBadware.org. I can't imagine everyone is MISflagging you.

As a few have pointed out, complaints can be found about ALL companies with a user base as large os ours. AOL, VISA, DISNEY etc. Gfyers are posting what amounts very few complaints in relation to our user base. Well under 0.01%.
I'm not going to begin to compare you to AOL, Visa, and Disney. They do have complaints, but they also have millions of happy customers. I'd argue that you have more complaints on the web than they do, and they've been in business longer and have exponentially more customers. Also, for a company with so many happy customers, why are you not advertising for your own name in the search engines? Seems silly considering how many people must be searching you to download your software.


These threads over the past few days from both sides are just silly. Companies can do what they want and should (as long as it is legal). If you're a webmaster and don't like it, don't support it. Don't send traffic. However, I'm sure their stuff converts, and I'm sure they can make a lot of webmasters money. It's a personal preference and each webmaster should make their own decision. Most webmasters should mind their own business.

However, these kind of threads insult our intelligence. We both know what this software is and does. If you want to argue the definition of malware/ransomware, so be it. But don't try and go around claiming this is some innocent software that hoards of people love. A few Google searches tell a whole other story.
