Award Received!

I have received an email from Softpedia that alerted me that Mote-Keys was added to their database of software for windows.
They reported that Mote-Keys was thoroughly tested in the Softpedia labs using several industry-leading security solutions and found to be completely clean of adware/spyware components.
They did a rather shabby job of setting up its page but I plan on contacting them to get things cleaned up a bit.
