Is 'ApyWare' a legitimate Term?

[REDACTED]

Is 'ApyWare' a legitimate Term for Anti Spyware?  When looking up the term apyware in the Search Engines there are a few tech dictionaries that showcase it as legit.

Hi jgoebel,

This started as a term derived from "SpyWare". You know that newbies might get rather upset when they find up spyware adware and then they mistyped the word starting with "a" in stead of "s". So the qualified removers found a lot of "ApyWare" inside their OP's postings.
So you could say it is an intentional typo.

Many anti-spyware product reviews in blogs and forums are  tagged with the term "apyware" so that these Web pages will also appear in organic search results.

Hope that this answered your initial question.

So commercially it wouldn't have value, since its more of a typo to get ranking?

So the domain name Apyware.com is not worth acquiring since its is not a legitimate term?

Thanks.  I am talking acquiring apyware.com. I was just wondering if its a term that the spyware industry uses and if it would be to any use to Anti Spyware companies.

Not really, it's just a typo.
