CLEARWATER, Florida, 23 de noviembre de 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- El Enigma Software Group USA, LLC ("ESG"), creador del programa antimalware SpyHunter 4, anunció hoy que ha presentado un recurso de apelación ante el Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos en su caso contra Malwarebytes, Inc. En octubre de 2016, el Enigma Software Group demandó a Malwarebytes por impedir de manera ilegal que los consumidores usaran su programa SpyHunter 4 por medio de una serie de tácticas predatorias. Anteriormente este mes, un juez de distrito desestimó la demanda del Enigma Software Group. El Enigma Software Group, en respetuoso desacuerdo con el criterio del Tribunal, ha presentado ahora un recurso de apelación para llevar el caso al Tribunal de Apelación del 9o. Circuito.

"Este caso forma parte de la lucha contra las prácticas comerciales desleales y la protección de la libertad de los consumidores", afirma Ryan Gerding, portavoz del Enigma Software Group. "Malwarebytes ha hecho que sea prácticamente imposible que nuestros clientes usen nuestro software como quieren".

El Enigma Software Group sostiene que el bloqueo de SpyHunter 4 por parte de Malwarebytes es algo muy diferente de recomendar su producto por sobre otros. Malwarebytes no solo pone en cuarentena y desactiva SpyHunter 4, sino que también dificulta su instalación a los usuarios y, de ese modo, hace que el programa resulte inútil de hecho. Esta táctica de Malwarebytes contra un competidor fuerte niega a los consumidores el derecho a seleccionar software de seguridad de su propia elección.

Además, Malwarebytes sostiene que la sección 230 de la Ley de Decencia en las Comunicaciones da a la compañía poder ilimitado para bloquear, poner en cuarentena y neutralizar cualquier programa de software que encuentre "de algún modo objetable" y que la compañía no necesita siquiera actuar "de buena fe" cuando hace esos juicios arbitrarios. El Enigma Software Group considera que esta es una tergiversación del verdadero significado previsto de la ley.

Malwarebytes ha identificado a SpyHunter 4 como un "programa potencialmente no deseado", cuando nada podría estar más alejado de la verdad. Los clientes del Enigma Software Group han descargado SpyHunter 4 de manera voluntaria, han instalado SpyHunter 4 de manera voluntaria y han pagado por el uso continuo de SpyHunter 4 de manera voluntaria. Sin embargo, Malwarebytes cree que es "potencialmente no deseado". Cientos de clientes de pago del Enigma Software Group se han quejado por no tener acceso a la protección de SpyHunter 4 desde que Malwarebytes comenzó a desactivarlo el año pasado.

"Creemos que los consumidores deben poder elegir qué productos de seguridad, y cuántos, quieren que protejan sus computadoras", dice Gerding. "Sabemos que muchos consumidores quieren tener múltiples capas de protección y optan por múltiples productos de seguridad. Al desactivar SpyHunter 4, Malwarebytes está privando a los consumidores de esa elección. Creemos que el principio rector debe ser la libre elección de los usuarios en un mercado en el que todos los productos antimalware estén disponibles para los consumidores y en el que los productos compitan basándose en su calidad y la satisfacción del cliente, y no en prácticas comerciales desleales".
