MS AntiSpyware


Recommended Posts

Oh, come on guys of course its not true !

Microsoft Antispyware was actually made by Giant Software Inc and rebranded by Microsoft when they aquired the company, the program was originally called Giant Antispyware and was available long before Microsoft released it.

Firstly, read the article a Microsoft Representative would not say ' Tough **** ' and secondly the program is not offered as an automatic update.

I really do hope that none of you actually believed it, One thing I gotta say, its the funniest thing I have read in ages !

:D :laugh: :D :laugh: :D :laugh:

This is why I haven't installed the MS Antispyware program. I don't use IE, but it is needed to do Windows Update (even though my system is set on autopilot and downloads things from Microsoft without any knowledge on my part).

This article shows one thing that is very unpleasant about Microsoft though: it's attitude. Just because it is so powerful, it thinks it can go around saying "tough sh*t" to the legitimate concerns of competitors. IBM used to have that kind of "f*ck off!" attitude towards the competition, and it's just really a case of hubris, IMHO. :wacko:

A representative from Lavasoft, which sells Ad-Aware another spyware removal program, complained that Microsoft was using its monopoly and knowledge of the operating system to "offer features that others can't match."

"Tough ****," said Weatherbee.

Thanks! This article reminded me obliquely of that old interview with Bill Gates in which he says "Sh*t, man!" or something like that, as a kind of excited response to a question noting the potential of MS, via WMP, to monitor people's music and video choices/tastes. :rofl:

    • Samsung messages is still alive and well. They reversed that and decided to our more effort into it.
    • I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
