It's 1.24am and I'm driving up the coast with a car full of kids later this morning. So I'm in a particularly cranky mood right now.
That is just the frame of mind to be in when confronted with garbage like this.
In Googling this wonderful product that detects malware on Macs, I stumbled on the Download.com review. This is what the reviewer has to say about Scan and Repair Utilities 2007,
The Description Box tempts you with information about each problem. However, the only information we found listed for every problem was: "This threat is currently being researched for better identification.
You can't repair a single problem. If you want to find out how well this program works in the repair department, you must register. Further, using Live Update crashed the program for our testers."
So what did this guy rate a program that does absolutely nothing?
Three out of five.
Let's get this right, the program does nothing and crashes when you try to update it, yet you still give it a 60% approval rating?
What a blithering moron, I bet he struggles with the concept of phishing.

Hi there Cranky Tech, I've just stumbled onto your site which is linked to a BigBlog Community.
I read over some of your recent posts and liked what I saw. Some of your views are refreshing and tend to harmonize with my own grotchety nature.
I spent 24 tears in Telstra as a Tech and later a STO.
Over the years that I worked there, the tendency was for Engineering staff (who spent their time playing political games) prolifferated at the expense of of Technical staff.
The Technical staff were first to recognise the potential of the Net - primitive as it was in those days - but the engineering staff pushed aside any suggestion to develope interfaces for users - in fact it seemed hard for the engineers to see that there was any merit in the internet - this is from our peers that thought that teletext was going to be one of the great things to come. Well the result of all this is that Telstra as a unity no longer exists, and those competiters that had better foresight have fully stolen the lead.
Keep it up - I'm listening
