brightertimes writes "It seems that microsoft's new AntiSpyware (beta) is now advising users to remove Firefox on their computers.. A Zeropaid.com thread shows the offending screenshot in action. Once your scanning has been done, if Firefox is found on your computer it provides the user with a "high" threat level and advising removal due to of lack of security updates." CT Several users have noted that the screenshot is likely fake.

    What you're saying is probably true, however... would you care to provide evidence? What made you think the screenshot was photoshopped (bar the fact you didn't get the same results?)

    This place has evolved over time.

    I think you mis-spelled "devolved", unless "evolving" can mean "getting progressively lazier and crappier as time goes on".

    Why the everliving FUCK would anyone pay to read this shittastically-run site?
