RubbeR DuckY. We acquired Thomas' product called AdwareMedic and his blog The Safe Mac because we truly believed that his product was the best in the market. Thomas will lead us through the same battle on the Mac that we've been fighting on Windows for 7 years now. A post from him will follow mine.

Due to an unfortunate naming issue, AdMedic has been renamed, and is now AdwareMedic! You will find it now on AdwareMedic.com.
So, what happened?
When I chose the name AdMedic, I did a trademark search and did not come up with anything. I also searched Google for conflicts, and found only some medical-related products. Since those are in a different field, I wasn’t worried about those, just as Apple Computer and Apple Records coexisted just fine until Apple Computer started selling music.
However, I neglected to do one thing: check the domain name. I planned to put AdMedic on The Safe Mac website, and thus wasn’t planning to register a separate domain name. It turns out that admedic.com is already taken, and in active use by an advertising company. I learned about this when someone brought them to my attention, and sure enough, they had suddenly shot to number one on Google’s search results for “AdMedic.”

So, rather than risk a cease and desist order or a lawsuit, I decided to change the name. And to do so quickly, before the name recognition got too far along. And I registered the domain name so I’d have a stronger claim on the name.
Sorry for any inconvenience the change of names might have caused anyone!
