Regarding DAP and Norton Anti-Virus by
Symantec™
|
|
We are very happy to inform that
following our communications with Symantec
(the provider of Norton products) the mistaken information
about DAP was corrected.
|
|
The updated description of DAP's behavior
(click
here) reaffirms that DAP is a standard
ad-supported application that shows advertisement
within the program
window, (no pop-ups, no tracing user activity
etc.), just like other legitimate ad-supported
applications such as MSN
messenger, Opera
Browser, ICQ and AIM.
|
|
We are now looking forward to having
DAP completely removed from Symantec detection
list. We believe that with your help we can
make this happen sooner:
|
|
 |
By writing
to Symantec, and asking to take
DAP off their detection list (other
legitimate ad-supported applications
e.g. AIM, ICQ, Opera browser, MSN Messenger
etc. are not on the list), you can
make a difference and support Download
Accelerator.
Let your voice be heard. Thanks for your support!
|
 |
|
|
We hope this matter will be resolved shortly
and we will keep you posted with any update,
and we apologize for the inconvenience.

DAP dramatically increases download speed on both Dial-up
and Broadband connections. The "Resume" feature
saves your work in case of disconnects, or allows you to
finish the download at a later time. DAP's customer Service
has always been exceptional.

behind it, u can ask a question and them will get to u,
even if its something that has nothing to do with DAP!!!

| Can
Symantec be wrong about DAP? |
| |
It appears that that Norton Anti-Virus currently warns
its users of DAP. We have looked into the matter and it appears
that Norton Anti-Virus is basing its warning on a wrong description
of DAP.
We are attempting to work out this misunderstanding of DAP's operation with Norton
Anti-Virus - in the meantime, below please find a short description of the inaccuracies
in Norton Anti-Virus reports for our concerned users.
We hope this matter will be resolved shortly, and we apologies for the inconvenience. |

Here's how
DAP was described on Symantec Security Response prior
to May 11 update
|
|
We've added our comments, so you can decide for yourself:
|
|
Wrong! |
Norton: "Adware.DAP"
|
|
Speedbit: DAP free version is an ad-supported
application - just like: Yahoo! Messenger™,
AIM™ etc.,
|
which display ads inside the program window.
|
|
Wrong! |
Norton: "[Downloads ads to be displayed in:]
your Internet Explorer toolbar"
|
|
Speedbit: DAP DOES NOT display advertising in
its toolbar.
|
|
Wrong! |
Norton: "[Downloads ads to be displayed:]....through
pop-up type advertising."
|
|
SpeedBit: DAP DOES NOT display pop-ups of any
kind.
|
|
Right! |
Norton: "[DAP] Installs a toolbar"
|
|
SpeedBit: DAP offers users to install a toolbar
for convenient access to DAP's functionality from
within
|
the browser interface. This is optional Anyone
who has used many applications, such as Yahoo! messenger™,
|
|
ICQ™ and others, knows there is an already-checked
option to download a search and links toolbar.
|
|
Right! |
Norton: "[Installs] a Browser Helper Object
into the browser"
|
|
SpeedBit: DAP uses a BHO to enable its functionality
just like other download managers and other application
|
|
such Yahoo! messenger™ and SpyBot - Search & Destroy™.
|
|
| |
We would like to believe that Symantec™ will soon
correct its report with respect to DAP and remove
the misleading information.
