What kind of dumb service pack doesn't recognize the two market leaders in security products (I'm talking about NAV and Zone Alarm Pro)? Lol, perhaps MS are planning to buy all the other vendors and this is part of their monopoly behaviour!

Microsoft is not making any company do anything...

They have simply created a usefull security centre and it is the job of the different companies to tap into it.

From what i've heard, some companies will not hook into the security centre until SP2 goes gold. This is to avoid making their product compatible once, then microsoft may change something, then need to make their product compatible again. Once SP2 goes gold basically all firewall and AV products that are still in active development will tap in.

they have to make their security products support the microsoft security center. it isn't microsoft's fault.

True. If Microsoft adapted their own operating system to account for every single piece of software out there, do you realise how bloated it would become? It is the job of software developers to make sure their products are compatible!

    • BATorrent 4.0.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 4.0.0 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience.

      Well duh. But it's not their agenda, they just push it forward.

      Easier to move to Firefox, either Zen Browser or LibreWolf (which includes it by default)

      People do not care. We are all tourists on this trip called life. So many others thing you can do, should do, then worry about trying to protect data collection. Not using Chrome, the most popular, most compatible and fastest patched browser on the market, because of data collection or some moral/political reason....is a complete waste of time IMHO. But we all get roughly the same amount of time on this trip, feel free to spend yours doing whatever makes you happy.

      Does anyone know how the Ghostery extension works in Google Chrome? I switched to that quite a while ago, from uBlock Origin after uBlock started having issues just working. Personally I love Ghostery and I think it does a fantastic job, and I really enjoy the whitelist I have built up as well for tons of websites that don't serve ads so that it isn't blocking good elements of them by accident.
