OK this tops my list of extremely annoying. Trend Officescan implies that superscan 3, the supereffective fast and highly useful network scanning utility is ‘grayware’.
Well, yes, I suppose it could be used for nefarious purposes. Just like a brick could be used for nefarious purposes. As an example, we make houses out of brick, but if I took a brick and dropped it on the heads of the idiots who did this at Trend, they would probably recommend a law to outlaw bricks.
thanks to officescan a 15 minute task to scan a network looking for hardcoded ip addresses turned into a 45 minute task of trying to configure officescan to allow me to use a great piece of software.
Note: Superscan 4 is out, but it sucks. Superscan 3 is all you probably need and it’s not bloatware.
