Great story!

We just want to share our belief that we 100% agree with CA’s comments. We own and market a rather “popular” product called FlexiSPY. As soon as we launched it, F-Secure was all over us and telling everyone what a threat we were. They labeled us the World’s First Trojan for Mobile Phones’ and even claimed to have tried to contact us, but we had no record of an email or telephone call.

In fact, after we fixed the issues F-Secure reported, we emailed them and and informed them of the update to our product, sent screen shots, and even offered to give them a copy to test. We never got a reply. I guess they wanted to keep the hype going and didnt expect we would act so quick? You can read more on our BLOG at http://flexispy.blogspot.com/

I think CA is right, F-Secure is all HYPE.

Cheers!
