Tried to download this but the download button does not work. It says it is free but the only working link is the paypal donation link at the buttom. So much for free.
I don,t mind paying for something that works but not like this.

They seem to have added an explanation, of sorts:

"We are currently not distributing herdProtect at this time, if you would like to be placed on the waiting list, please email us at download@herdProtect.com. We are looking to re-release the software in the coming weeks".

Oh, and just saw this comment (scroll down at link) from 2013:
https://www.tenforums.com/antivirus-firewalls-system-security/89235-what-happened-herdprotect.html

Exact same quote.

Is four years long enough to say discontinued? I think so.
