 CA Drafts New Policy for Spyware Vendor Appeals
CA has not publicized its decision and is still adhering to the existing policy of removing detection for suspected spyware applications involved in vendor appeals, but it will officially announce the new policy in the coming days, once it completes changes to the company's official vendor appeal documentation and Web page content, Case said.

In fact, even with the old policy, CA was usually able to resolve appeals within the time that separates anti-spyware database updates, meaning that customers are rarely affected by appeals.
