Open post to C. Stark enigmasoftwaregroup.com

I have some questions that I want you to help clear up for me.

How is is that iolo technologies, LLC which markets: System Mechanic SpyHunter and has the active Trademark SpyHunter registered yet your group what ever they are called at the moment use the same name?

iolo.com
http://www.thetechmag.com/index.php/news/main/1042/event=view
In addition to virus and firewall protection, System Mechanic 4 features a PC parasite-fighting tool called SpyHunter™ which seeks and destroys annoying and dangerous spyware, malware, adware, and other notorious malevolent applications, plug-ins and ActiveX controls that fly under the radar of antivirus solutions.

************
I have seen much of your many site and affiliates registering their domains with Domains By Proxy that will hide the true identity of those selling the products.

I have also seen a change in many of the sites that in one minute are selling spyhunter and the now they are all selling xoftspy.

You also state that you are a director of enigmasoftwaregroup yet you are mainly found as the President of Adorons, Inc. that deals in software for modeling. How is it you are an expert in the field of security software to detect and remove adware/spyyware?

Very interesting indeed. I'm still wondering why a browser hijack from BuySmarter's InternetAntispy serves up SpyHunter popups. Where is the logic in that? If BuySmarter wants to market their so-called anti-spyware program, InternetAntispy, through browser hijacks, why would they choose to also market Enigma's so-called antispyware program, SpyHunter, at the same time? Wouldn't the two companies be competitors? Unless......but alas, I think too much sometimes.

That is because BUYSMARTER.COM is part of a Russian group that sells all types of software but that will be a different write up later.

Maybe Enigma would be better suited trying to develop a more protective condom than their mock attempt at developing a protective program? Just a thought.

Angry Homer · Posted: Fri May 21, 2004 6:41 pm Post subject:

Perhalps yes, but if so the maybe they'll try to make the round bussiness with defective condoms too. Kind of like that old joke about Doctors and the Mortuary. Keeping a round bussiness for both parties.
Which actually sounds a lot like what they are doing now.

If you google EnigmaSoftwareGroup, you will see some strange URL's where their products are advertised. Not exactly what I would call high quality sites.

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=EnigmaSoftwareGroup

Url's I wouldn't dare click on. Rolling Eyes

Could have CWS or who know what!

I use two main utilities in my search for knowledge.

1. Whois View: http://www.whoisview.com/products/whoisview/

This gives me the following:
Who owns a domain name
Who owns a specified IP address block
Who is the web hosting provider for a website
Who provides the DNS, Email handling, etc for a domain

2. Sam Spade 1.14
http://static.samspade.org/ssw/spade114.exe

Allows for ping, trace, whois, plus much more.
The best feature is "View Raw Web site" This lets me put in those URL addresses from search results and also my firewall log entries and it returns only the code to view. This is one way to check a site without using the Browser and you can then see if it looks unsafe to go their.

3. Almost 75% of all baddies register their domains thru Godaddy and you would need to enter an ID in order to get the whois information.

https://registrar.godaddy.com/whois.asp

4. When viewing a whois and you see a state address and they claim they are INC., etc. find the state corporation data base and see if they are really who they are if they registered with that state.

http://www.crimescreen.com/linkspage.htm

5. When looking to see what if any a web sites looked before they changed, use the wayback machine.
http://www.archive.org/

TIP: if you put the url as say:
http://test.disk11.com/images with /images at the end, you would have to click on the link:
Click here to search for all pages on test.disk11.com/

This way you get to view the files and paths and not just the pages that were archived:
test.disk11.com/
~7 pages between Aug 01, 2001 and Sep 25, 2002

test.disk11.com/?D=A
~3 pages between Oct 06, 2001 and Jun 10, 2002

test.disk11.com/?D=D
~3 pages between Oct 31, 2001 and Oct 12, 2002

test.disk11.com/?M=A
~3 pages between Aug 02, 2001 and Aug 06, 2002

test.disk11.com/?M=D
~4 pages between Aug 03, 2001 and Oct 12, 2002

test.disk11.com/?N=A
~3 pages between Oct 31, 2001 and Oct 12, 2002

Again with this feature, use caution as the site may be archived but some you can still find active installation files that you may not want installed, i.e. adware types.

"Enigma Software Group"? Yuk-yuk.

"Colorado Stark" (real name Collin Stark) and his puke buddies are nothing but the registryline.com spammers. A bunch of coked-up junior securities traders who are feeding their nasal habits with spam, spyware and real estate scams. Phony addresses, voicemail bounces, the sort of pond scum you'd expect to come crawling up from Queens Boulevard, wearing power ties to hide the fact that they're the internet version of trailer trash.

Keep your day job, Collin.
