SAS and MB

[Seth]

The following link is extremely boring if you're not into this sort of thing. If you are, the most interesting posts are the interaction between the author of SAS and one of the authors of MB.

 

From an MB developer in response to a statement that MB is copying SAS's features:

 

You are correct that there are a lot of similarities in the way MBAM is going compared SAS and it is intentional . SAS was the first free tool I ever used that I would actually call good . The good things about it are what we had in mind at the start .

PC Magazine review: SUPERAntiSpyware Professional 4.0 - Wilders Security Forums

Don't hit me if I say I am not into this sort of thing. :D

 

Seriously though, it is no problem if there are many similarities between both of the programs. As most of us know, they still target different types of infections so the similarities can be overlooked. It looks like the Malwarebytes author considers the SUPERAntiSpyware's author as a role model.

Well not the author/programmer but the program. The marketing method chosen by SAS is often what is in disagreement, but he has the right to run his Company how he sees fit.

The owners of MB like the SAS program. They don't agree with the marketing methods of SAS.

It wasn't that long ago that people were saying the same of Adaware and Spybot - give it a few years and we will be using something else :D

[Seth]

Ya, like hammers:D

 

You're probably right though. Anyway, I use both consistently.

[Dalo Harkin]

Lol - you don't use a sledge hammer for a nail do you Seth :D

I like the saying:

 

Why use a bazooka, when a bow and arrow will do :D

the owner of MRU used to host the MB site, but MB now has their own site.
