spybot, my love

[pfelelep]

Hello,

I've been using Spybot for 2 years and I must confess it's the best software I've ever used (and tested); my deepest thanks to the programmers.

I'm wondering what do you think of the new micros$$ft anti-spyware beta-version?
Do you think we can trust a company wich already put spywares on his progs? Not to mention their "special deal with the CLARIA creators and the way they trick you from behind with their Micros$$ft agreement, each time you install a new update or something.

Thanks again for your responses.

Pfelelep.

That is always nice for them to hear, thank you.

Not sure what you mean by that?

and the way they trick you from behind with their Micros$$ft agreement, each time you install a new update or something.

?

Perhaps these concerns would be better addressed on an MS Board where people knowledgeable about MSASW could answer.

Cheers.

Thanks for your answer.

In fact, I diden't pretend to criticise Micro$$ft, I was just curious about their anti-spyware prog abilities.
I guess I just have to test it myself then.

Hello pfelelep.

Your english is fine, no need to excuse.

I did test MSASW myself but it is a Beta as you know so it would still be a good idea to check out their newsgroups.

Thank you for joining us and have a great week!
