 * Delete Not notable and the references are not from independent sources (nor are they reliable) --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  22:39, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment - As stated in another discussion... this "new" user with no past edit history has come out of the woodwork to plaster Wikipedia with deletion requests for all the products of a single company. This should raise a few red flags as to the motive of the AfD.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.119.134 (talk) 15:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile, the chief defense has come from an anon IP who does nothing but work on Paretologic articles. So I think it cancels out.  Bahustard 19:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep despite the original author's clear intention to plug the product. There is an attempt to address a controversy over the product being suspected as a kind of trojan. The article would benefit from a fuller treatment of this, and greater impartiality overall. I also wonder why a related product also has a Wikipedia article but with the spelling "XOFTspy." See Articles for deletion/XOFTspy Portable Anti-Spyware, Articles for deletion/ParetoLogic Privacy Controls, Articles for deletion/RegCure, and Articles for deletion/ParetoLogic. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 04:02, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete This software is MALWARE. It destroys computers. This is not a safe article, and is undermining Wikipedia's credibility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.78.150.119 (talk) 01:26, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
