Hi there  :)

Please be aware of this scandalous software called Orbasoft. It's completely useless! :

Orbasoft is a real company, situated in Denmark.
But they hired an Indian company to spam blogs with comments on their products ("search engine optimization"). The Indian company wrote 300 positive comments – for the price of $900.
The manager of Orbasoft says:

"It sounded smart, but now it seems horrific to me". Honestly....

For those who speak Danish, here's a link to an interview with the manager.

Hi there :)
Thanks to Paddy for the link to the Danish article and thanks to Corrine for the Google translation. :rose: . Well, Orbasoft has been criticized a lot in the Danish newspapers and off course at online IT-sites over the last past days. We over at forum  spywarefri.dk have chosen to take distance from this software and will not recommend this kind of software. Orbasoft, it is absolute not OK dealing with Safety software that way! :soapboax:
