if you all have been wondering what has happined to the vladd website............then never fear it is there ,.................
http://www.vladd44.com/style2note you will need to wait at least 5 minutes for the page to load in fact IE timed out i was only able to get it to load with firefox..................
then we get to the content of the page..............at first i thought it was a old april fools joke, then i realized that vladd was serious...............for example
NEW!! We now provide a new alternative to our standard MXpie Patch. The new version Automatically updates peer cache information, and includes an automatically updating blocking file to run in conjunction with PeerGuardian Lite. Both are done in a transparent and easily verifiable way. There are also options to disable one or both of the AutoUpdating Functions as well. This is in an effort to give Users full control over what happens on their computer. We do not believe such things should be left to blind faith.
i know vladds a liar and a scammer but come on,,,,,,,,,, full control over there computers..................guess vladd doesnt even use his own patch as it far from gives any user control over there computers, as km has stated it gives full control over content to vladd not the user and owner of the computer....................plus of course pie patch with pg2 was a complete failure 6 months ago i fail to see how it now works simply cause vladd has added pg2 lite.................
then there is this little gem of a statement........
This solution will overwrite your hosts file, if you use any program that makes use of the hosts file you would be advised to continue to use the older options still listed below........ note if you use any other programme that accesses the hosts file dont use this new patch as it will render any other software totally useless................
then theres this...........
The "Pie Auto Updater" is intended to be an all inclusive solution for 2000/2003/XP users who wish to resolve connectivity and never need to download additional updates again...........ROFL, who are they trying to kid.....................
as has been posted many times on this forum neither pie patch works..............pie is a complete failure it is a blantant lie for pie or anyone else to susgest that pie blocks, it does no such thing,if your on pie and think your protected think again.............neither pie patch does anything about fakes the doss attacks or denial or service...................
and finally this continual lie................
Some antivirus programs, antispyware programs and firewalls block modification of the hosts file. If there is a problem after you install, reinstall with those items turned off. We also provide a manual way to modify your hosts file (Manual Install) if you would prefer to do the change yourself...................
absolute crap, they dont respond to the modification of the hosts file at all and never have..........they in fact respond to the alteration of windows system files, that they have no business accessing in the first place...............so much for transparancy as they claim............
but do by all means have a wander round the site...............its a laugh a minute.......................
