Voor alle duidelijkheid: ik ben persoonlijk niet geinterreseerd in een enkel product van Tone2. Voorlopig bezit ik de software die me aanstaat en werk er graag mee. Het debat rond hoe ver een beveiliging kan gaan, interessert me wel.

The software which is ditributed by our website does not contain malware. We strongly recommend that you download and purchase software only directly from the tone2 website.
There have been rumours on illegal warez sites that the latest version of Gladiator (v2.2) would contain malware. This is missinformation.
It is possible that pirates have downloaded illegal software which contained viruses from illegal websites. These websites are not property of our company and we got not control over what they distribute.
Besides that we noticed a smear campaign by cracking groups and software pirates who try to hurt our companies reputation and justify their own criminal activeties. We are not sure about their motivation, but i could be related to the fact that several cracking groups have tried to crack our software in the past - all without success and they lost their 'reputation' because of providing non-working cracks. Futhermore we had offered a reward for their identities, because they commited credit card fraud, copyright infringement, blocked our customers from accessing our online store, commercially sold illegal 'cheap OEM versions', prevented our team from working and attacked our servers.
The disgusting large number of pirates downloaded non-working cracks and were annoyed, because the software did not output sound and they were forwarded to our webshop to purchase a legal version.
Several independet users which own a full version of Gladiator have scaned it with 41 different virus scanners. Here is the result:
