PC Tools spokeswoman Magida Ezzat:

"We believe the proceedings are an attempt by Zango to influence our
reclassification process. Prior to the lawsuit we were well into an
in-depth review and reclassification of the latest versions of Zango
products; Seekmo Search Assistant, Zango Search Assistant and Hotbar
products which were released after the FTC ruling against Zango. These
new versions received a new classification of “Potentially Unwanted
Products” and are to be updated in the Spyware Doctor database in the
next few days.

We advised Zango of this imminent re-rating and we believe they have
chosen to lodge these proceedings as a way to gain media attention of
the review. PC Tools has a stringent review and classification process
and will not be influenced or pressured into compromising this process
regardless of the threat of legal proceedings. Zango’s older products,
including 180 Solutions Search Assistant, will remain unchanged at their
higher threat levels and should Zango’s newly reclassified products
revert to previous behaviors PC Tools will not hesitate to reclassify
them to a higher level if justified.

PC Tools believes the proceedings are without merit and will vigorously
defend them."

"Both Eric Howes and I loaded the PC Tools Started Edition last night and found no such evidence that Zango is deleted without specific warning.

We have offered PC Tools any forensic documentation or assistance they may need in their efforts to defend themselves."
