I,m not too clued up about who operates this page but I know its full of misleading information so any help in getting it removed or corrected folks would be great:

I have filed an abuse report but further reports would be very helpful folks

I have also sent them a very long letter about what is said on there, and why it should be removed. I hope they listen.

Got a reply to my reporting this article

Many thanks for sending this in. Squidoo is a free service that makes it easy for people to create pages (kind of like blogs, but single pages) about something they're interested in. Our authors are responsible for the content they put up on those pages, while Squidoo admins (that's us) do oversight on complaints like yours. We've locked this page from view and sent the author a note. This topic is actually very much against our TOS and our SquidDon't policies. Thanks again for keeping an eye out and sending this in. --The SquidTeam

Thats great news Hell, I got an automated reply that stated they where looking into it, I,m very pleased to see that the words of those folks who bothered to bring this to their attention have been effective and that they can see for themselves how this articles author has abused their sites purpose for what I believe is commercial financial gain, it wasnt WinMX those linked sites where offering and its good to see the squidoo team are against misleading folks, kudos to them and yourself

I may even go and write them up an article on some topic I,m familiar with as a thank you for their prompt action.
