Zango sues PC Tools over adware claims
Online media company Zango has filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court in Seattle against anti-spyware firm PC Tools.
The suit alleges that PC Tools' Spyware Doctor flags Zango's software as adware and removes it without the express permission of the user.
Both companies have confirmed that the suit has been filed, but declined to comment any further on the case.
"We believe the proceedings are an attempt by Zango to influence our reclassification process," PC Tools said in a statement.
"Prior to the lawsuit we were well into an in-depth review and reclassification of the latest versions of Zango products.
