Shocking, I hope other networking companies don't try and pull the same stunt!

Jesus Christ. Point blank, never buying another Belkin Product, ever (and I have never said that about anything before).
People shouldn't have to "Opt-Out" of anything because they never "Opted In" in the first place.
Makes me want to punch the compaines CEO square in the face.
NS
WTF!!! thats a bit of an outrage innit
another vote for not buying belkin here
shame, i really liked belkin, got quite a few of there products and think they are all great, but they can fook off now, thats so lame.... *puts on anti-belkin sticker*
Lol @ that.
What are they gonna do next, force you to sign up for their trial software before you can connect to the net?
Lol
Butuz
bit mad that, still gonna buy belkin stuff but if this happened i'd send the router back cos its not doing its job properly
lol muppets! Im quite happy with my DLINK router :)
Jeeez - what will they think of next - must admit that if I was in charge at Belkin and had thought of that one, I would have been pretty proud of myself - free advertising - yoiks!
Thats a bit shocking from the company. I dont like Belkin anyway, too goodie too shoes for me, they seem they always work, sure cable I'll buy from them as a cable is a cable and not really worth fussing about.
shame on Belkin
Talk about pestering the customer who has paid good money for your product.
(in a roundabout way) This reminds me of software like AutoCad - after you've forked out a huge wad of cash, you have to jump through hoops, send off forms, etc, in order to keep using the software you've already paid for.
Obviously, slipping a advert pamphlet in the box along with the instruction manual isn't enough for Belkin.
Good to see off slashdot that one will soon be able to disable it, although it doesn't clarify if it will be enabled by default.
