There's some interesting stuff on Ascentive on the web. Can't post the link because there's a 'swear' word in it
www dot p*ssedconsumer dot com
Here's a sample;
"Since it was advertised on national TV I thought it had to be legit. This software is now infecting my machine with viruses then telling me to buy more of their software to fix it. Stay away!"0
