Microsoft Antispyware
- Thread starter PostCode
- Start date
I'm trying it. It's found 5 so far. Spybot found nothing 2 days ago and I haven't really been online so that's interestin'.
Anyhoooo, I was too lazy to bend over and look at the sticker on the box, so I clicked for the alternate method. Alls ya gotta do is lie about what the puter is and where you got it and it'll give you a thing so the site says your winders is valid. Good answers were "Compaq" , "USA", and "Best Buy".

Well I'm gonna run with it a bit. If it's trustworthy enough then I might install it on customers computers. If it wants some kind of subscription, then I'll probably just stick with AdAware and Spybot.
Besides, someone out there will inevitably install it and screw their system up then bring it to me to fix. Better to have an idea what the program does ahead of time.

Considering that MS cannot write a service pack that properly works with 3000+ coders and engineers and a year to tinker with it... I would sooner stick razor wire up my corn hole than d/l a friggin beta-anything.

I always found C:>format*.* to be an effective spyware removal device.

Until she wants to know why her pos spiffy new flash drive won't work when she plugs it into the port. I refuse to try and explain over the phone how to mount a drive and then end up having it brought in because she fubared something else in the process. Most people in this area don't even know what a "desktop" is. No way...that just ain't gonna happen.
Winders blows but it's simple to use and no person in this area knows jack about Linux. They would think it's a wild cat of some sort stalking the area.
