His agenda was targetting me. It had nothing to do with BugHunter. If
you'll continue reading the thread, he's already re-killfiled me for
answering his questions, "arrogance" style I guess.

Which capabilities is it either of you seem to think BugHunter is
missing? aside from resident protection... It scans, it can rename, it
can delete, it can be told to do nothing but scan. What feature(s) am I

Commercial interest has never been what drives me. And as far as someones
opinion of commercial quality; I personally wouldn't have thought
hijackthis or cwssearch were commercial quality but guess what? They're
both commercial now.
