Review of Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Tools
happyslayer writes "Matthew Fordahl has written a review of Microsoft's anti-spyware tool and has declared it, in a word, 'ineffective.' Though the methodology isn't carried out completely (he uses another anti-virus program after trying MS's tool, but doesn't do the same with the anti-spyware tool), it's a fairly good anecdote on the MS product's usefulness."
I don't know about you, but I'd get pretty nervous about using any software that Microsoft *openly* admits is beta.
Game! - Where the stick is mightier than the sword!
Since when can Windows run 56,000 instances of anything?
I think it's great. Nooo, definitely no sarcasm here. uh-uh.
I only post comments when someone on the internet is wrong.
Clearly, when Jesus isn't busy helping rap artists and football stars he's busy fucking up software. Just further proof that Jesus is pro hos; bitches; guys with bling, bling; and large sweaty guys while he's against fat and thin geeks and the internet in general.
Eurohacker European paranoia, gun rights, and h
it was a fully functioning program MS bought. they just change the name.
they'll probably stop calling it beta when they figure out how to bloat it into total uselessness (so far they've made it auto start without option to turn off, and have a long and annoying splash screen)
Whenever a Microsoft bashing article comes up on slashdot we need a little video song clip to come on with pasty aggressive nerds emerging from their basements in homemade rockets with the lyrics blaring: SLASHDOT! FUCK YEAH! Coming again, to save the mother fucking day yeah, SLASHDOT, FUCK YEAH! Linux is the only way yeah, Microsoft your game is through cause now you have to answer too, SLASHDOT, FUCK YEAH! So lick my slanted posting, and suck on my trolls, SLASHDOT, FUCK YEAH! What you going to do when we come for you now, it's the open-source dream that we all share; it's the hope for tomorrow. FUCK YEAH! OpenBSD, FUCK YEAH! Spybot S&D, FUCK YEAH! Beowulf CLusters, FUCK YEAH! Neil Stephenson, FUCK YEAH! MMORPG, FUCK, YEAH!
Those last 4 are all Microsoft too.
Maybe so, but it would be the cleanest, most optimized and up-to-date spyware on the planet.
" I can't believe this is story was posted. As much as I dislike MS on many levels, THIS IS BETA!!!!"
And to why the story was posted , THIS IS SLASHDOT!!!!
After burning tens of thousands of R&D hours, the brains at MS labs will be adding add a dancing, blinking magnifying glass that will pop up with the caption "I see you're trying to get rid of spyware!"
Sigs are bad for your health.
