In article you write:
There's some statements in this article which I know are wrong, like the claim that they finance the Anti-Spyware Coalition. I'm an ASC member and I can assure you that Gator/Claria has never tried to show their face, and would have been turned down if they asked, like many other adware companies already have. This makes me somewhat sceptical of the whole article. Also, I've met Annalee and she is a good writer but she is not the most skeptical person I've ever met.
Claria has been pretty good at dealing with their legal challenges, and their PR is great (it even fooled Esther Dyson), but people in the industry are under no illusions about what they do.
