ZEDO is known spyware and I have edited the page to reflect as much. wagsbags 23:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

This page is stated in a way that is reminiscent of an advertisement. 72.196.196.230 13:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

This is a terrible article. It should be completely rewritten or deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.193.165 (talk) 15:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

ZEDO is intrusive spyware. Why does this FACT keep getting removed from edits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.14.104 (talk) 23:07, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

There is almost nothing of value in this article. What would be useful is how zedo works on your system and how to remove it. I removed some garbage that was irrelevant, but really the whole thing ought to go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.213.0.194 (talk) 14:35, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a how-to guide, so your suggestion of adding information about how to "remove it" would be inappropriate. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it is common sense that any page about malware would include the obvious information about how to remove it, just as if you look up the flu it will contain information about the flu vaccine, and so on. As a matter of fact, ZimZalaBim, "not a how to guide" is not even one of the headings on the page you referenced. But "not your web host" is, and so is "not censored". Please immediately stop removing the basic information from this page for whatever reason.Jemima charmlimit (talk) 23:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Read down the page, and you'll find WP:NOT#HOWTO. Your other edits are POV original research. We are trying to cite facts about this company, not assertions by people who might be upset about their practices. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 00:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
