Tech Outpost

[Kyuun]

Sorry if I post this in the wrong section, I'm new here. Anyways, you may or may not have noticed the brothersoft.com debate. It is getting unbearable. For starters, Brothersoft officials and reviewers are starting to become very hostile towards each other. Mainly because Brothersoft has been using bots to give 5 star reviews to themselves and report and thumb down the reviewers who are giving it a low rating. This has been going on for quite a while, and it makes me angry to go on the most helpful reviews of all time and see bot approved (we're talking 80+) reviews for brothersoft. The community would appreciate it if you brought this uncivil debate to an end, it has gone too far. First of all, we would like it if our reviews stopped getting deleted when we cite a source proving brothersoft has a virus. Secondly, we only want humans reviewing, not spambots. Thirdly, I think it would be very helpful if you banned the spambots. Thank you for taking your time to read this, you may not think this is an important issue, but to safeweb this is over the top and ridiculous.

How is this "amusing"?  Brothersoft has been repeatedly complained by many people as being laden with viruses.  I once downloaded a driver from Brothersoft, which Norton flagged as being malicious.

This really needs to get fixed. I am disappointed in the lack of caring on Norton's part. I never wished to get insulted for proving Brothersoft has viruses. Someone just please end this! That's all I'm asking. It's ridiculous and needs to stop. If you continue to ignore this then you are letting spam bots take over Safeweb.

Kyuun is discussing what appears to be an effort by brothersoft loyalists to skew the customer reviews of the site on Norton Safe Web so that the overall rating looks more favorable than it otherwise would.  Looking at some of the posts there, this sounds like a valid topic to me,

Hello Kyuun,

I am sorry you took offence.

My amusement came from Britton30's comment and not your original post.

As such I should have kept my opinion to myself.  I never meant to offend you.

So now I will bow out of this conversation.  I hope you get the help you need.

My bad too. In fact this is the first time I ever heard of Brothersoft, so I visited their site. Kyuun your post led me to believe there was some really big news or Norton-bashing there but, I found nothing. The events you referred to are still unknown to me. Send of Jive's post helped me understand what you're trying to say.
