Hotbar adware dispute settled
Symantec settles adware case
Symantec has reached an out-of-court agreement in the pre-emptive lawsuit it filed against marketing firm Hotbar.com Inc.

In the unusual case, the anti-malware vendor sought a court ruling that would allow it to label certain Hotbar.com products as adware (see VB, July 2005, p.3). Under the terms of the settlement Symantec will dismiss the suit, but it will continue to classify Hotbar's program files as low-risk adware.
