Ajaz Ahmed, founder of Browzar, responded:

- Browzar: Adware?
“We don’t do adware. We have Overture and people are not happy with the way that they show their results”
“As a response to that, the engine is going to be changed.” Ask would be the new engine .

- Browzar does not erase all traces of activity (pages in cache IE):
“Currently investigating that situation”
“Come up with an update to fix it”.

- Browzar was presented as a browser, it’s in fact an IE shell application:
“We’ve not tried to hide the fact that it’s an IE shell”
“If we need to make that more explicit then we’ll certainly change that.”
