Support.com is a leading provider of cloud-based technology services and software. SUPERAntiSpyware is headquartered in Eugene, Oregon and has fewer than 10 employees. All employees, including founder and industry leader Nick Skrepetos, are joining Support.com. SUPERAntiSpyware had 2010 revenues of approximately $2.5 million and is profitable. The transaction is structured as an acquisition of assets with a cash purchase price of $8.5 million.

Looks like a win-win situation for both.

Hope they continue to offer the free version!
