MS Anti-Spyware...NOT!!
« on: July 20, 2005, 04:30:12 PM »
I said when this POC came out that it wasn't going to be worth loading and using.  Now I am proven right, unforunately.

I just recieved the latest edition of the SpyWare Weekly Newsletter, and there is an article in there about the latest in evidence regarding the MS Anti-Spyware software.

It seems that now they have updated it to improve performance... it ignores spyware deliberately.

I would make this somewhat akin to sending backups to dev/null.  For those of you not understanding that statement, it's like filing your important documents in the shredder.

For more information: http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/2005/july20.php#msadware

Now that looks pretty useful.

I'm going to have to try that program now.
