Talk:AntiMalware

I set the redirect back to the generic page for antivirus. The reasons are twofold:

1. There is more than one program using the term "antimalware" in the title, namely Malwarebytes also calls itself "Antimalware".

2. The term is descriptive and generic. Redirecting to a particular product is not neutral.

 * Just a question: is it Wikipedia policy that a redirect pointing to a typo-ed generic term takes priority over a particular product with the exact name? Note that the product by Malwarebytes is called "Anti-Malware" with a dash, and that the generic English term doesn't have a capital 'M'. --DanielPharos (talk) 17:12, 10 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I confess to not being very well read about Wikipedia policy and so cannot truly comment. But one note about capitalization is that the search box seems to ignore the case of the search term, ie. Searching for "antimalware" hits this page. That's how I got on this page in the first place, and felt that it was a bit like advertising if this search landed up on a product page. 121.6.41.209 (talk) 02:30, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Meh, good enough argument for me. ;) --DanielPharos (talk) 15:31, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you! And apologies for going over your head on this one. Should anyone more well versed in wikipedia policy comes by, feel free to adjust if needed. 121.6.41.209 (talk) 01:57, 12 April 2017 (UTC)


 * "going over your head" No worries, I don't mind. Also, Be bold and all. ;) --DanielPharos (talk) 14:52, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
