love and kisses,

I don't think it would work. From what I understand it requires too much responsibility and headache, that social engineering does.

as it turns out the antispyware part will be along shortly, but as it turns out, is not.
yet.
working.

hm. do keep us posted. i can't install something like that on these corp. machines, but might check it out on a test/vmware box at home.

As soon as they integrate antispyware I'll roll it out on my home LAN for testing. Thanks for the link Underpants :icon14:

so what's the scoop, undies? likey or no?

i did notice that MS wants you to pay for protection for their own OS.

bad trip for me, Juggsy. Bluescrizzle of dizzle on one vanilla xp for rizzle. Uninstall from safe mode

the other fared well, I guess. The system-crushing scanner is something like the sacred but very uncomfortable finger of a proctologist (thank god it's only from what I understand) nothing escapes the probe and new suspicious shit is reported and feedbback can be given real-time on what to do. The tune up application does little for a fresh build, but does offer a few mind-numbing tips, so it's good for the novice user I suppose--I'll run it again after installing some shit or downloading some open source porn and get back on the results...
lots of others are blogging it up as some kind of fucking miracle though, guess I"m just velly unrucky :twofingersHeldAloftAznStyle:

Man they sure dumbed it down for the average user... now you can't customize which protections you want to enable/disable manually, and the explorers are streamlined, you can't really choose to enable/disable the bho's and the default ie settings.

Hopefully that will return once it goes retail... is the plan to include this only in the windows live service once it does?

so. I've installed it on 3 machines, shortly thereafter uninstalled it on one in safe mode and tonight uninstalled the rest.
here's an online version that seems to work much better for my needs and is an infinitely better scan engine than Housecall's new downgraded online java scan engine:

Fair enough. I'll check out the online version though.
