Enigma Software Sues BleepingComputer Over Negative Review
When a BleepingComputer reviewer bought a license of SpyHunter to review it, the site got a little more than the anti-spy software - a lawsuit by its developers Enigma Software, for a negative review. BleepingComputer claims that Enigma has since been "bullying" it to "censor" the review post, or lawyer up for what the site fears will be a costly lawsuit. The site maintains that the lawsuit is frivolous in nature, but it needs the Internet's support to prove its innocence in court. The site is crowdfunding money for their defense.



Enigma Software, on its part, claims that the review, which you can read here, was slanted, and trying to purport SpyHunter as spyware. The review does come with citations to back its reasoning over how SpyHunter exhibits unusual behavior for an anti-spyware app. It also comes with a vast chunk of content on how to get your machine rid of SpyHunter, which is probably what invited the developer's ire. In its plea, BleepingComputer is terming its refusal to pull down the review as its right to free speech, and is seeking the community's help to defend it.
