Barracuda Networks uses ClamAV anti virus software in their solutions. Anti virus developer Trend Micro accused Barracuda Networks of patent infringement with a bogus patent (as all software patents are). What Trend Micro really does is abusing the patent system and aggressively attacking ClamAV users and developers directly. This is a disgusting act. A company should operate between borders of a certain ethical environment. Trend Micro exceeds the borders of decency. It has become a pariah and should be punished.
