Ascentive PC SpeedScan Pro
We did have a short review of PC SpeedScan here and many user comments and reviews. Very colorful and negative user comments about the software I should add. Unfortunately, we were forced to remove the review and the comments for a variety of reasons.
Apparently, Ascentive did not like the comments and we received a few nasty-grams from their lawyers. The FTC is releasing new rules about user comments and reviews that make us liable for your comments. Go figure. A lot of legal jargon but it seems that freedom of speech on the Internet is slowly coming to an end.
