Are we talking SpyBot Search and Destroy?

Did you know that it does automatic backup of things
YOU CHOOSE to remove?

You can restore them even if YOU didn't plan ahead
by making a backup.

Hey, I am having IE problems too, and SpyBot is ONE
of the suspects, but then I am the one that approved every
change and it was kind enough to restore everything that
I asked it to restore.

Somehow I think that Mr. "Spybot is crap" has one of these fake-mp3-search
websites that tries to install spyware and used to get $1 per successful
install, but now he's getting nothing because more and more people are
protected through the immunize function of Spybot. These people are OK with
Adaware, as it still gets the crap installed (= he makes the buck) and then
removes it later. The newest Spybot (1.2) doesn't allow the isntall in the
first place.

Why do I think that? Well look at his headers. He's posting using elaborate
spammers' tools so as to not disclose the point of insertion into usenet.

Could it be that "spybot is crap" is connected to an ongoing situation the
founder of SpyBot S & D is currently handling and this is an attempt by
"spybot is crap"at undermining public confidence in Patrick Kolla's product
using newsgroups to spread his discontent.

"Dear Customer
BulletProofSoft Spy ware Remover has been on the market for 3 years now
where as spybot has only been out for the last 4 or 5 month!!! Spybot has
started a negative publicity campaign not only against our company but
against 4 other spyware remover program's on the market and their companies.
As spybot is currently gaining from this negative publicity as the owner
patrick kolla (owner of spybot) actually thinks since he is a 1 man company
in germany that american companies can't go after him to stop this
nonsense!! he is wrong. Our company is teaming up with the other 4 companies
and are filling lawsuits against patrick kolla."

That elaborate spammer tool is the awful Web interface that MS provides into
the newsgroup. Check out the headers of most of the other posters.

Not falsified. This is the MS internal IP that posted. Looks like it
could come from 10.40.1.161 thru 165

Most likely a lame troll.

first off, if you do something illeagle ie download mp3s,
someone will do something illeagle to you, that is the
reason for spyware->popupads 90% of the time, also,
www.download.com ->search-> ad-aware, great for removing
spyware, also you can find pop-up kills from download.com
 
We get used to it. The best way to get your problem ignored is to come on like
that.

First off, clown, I haven't downloaded an MP3 or any other
music for at least 5 years...long before it
was "illegal". Secondly, WTF are you talking about "using
elaborate spammers tools?" You are one whacked individual
to suggest I'm doing something that I know nothing about.
I use my computer for graphics and LEGAL things...like
browsing the internet. I have no friggin idea what the
crap you're talking about with "disclose the point of
insertion into usenet". WTF is that supposed to mean?
get a clue will you?
 
No, I'm not part of any ongoing situation. Sheesh. You
people are whacked. I installed it and it crashes more
than before. So I didn't like it. Why all the attitudes
from people who obviously know more than I do about
computers? Why all the accusations that I'm spamming or
doing something illegal?

Mike Tyson called...he wants his attitude back.

Because you started with an attitude, far more than just
righteous indignation over a product that you believe caused
you trouble.

You specifically called anyone who recommends SpyBot
(happens to include me) an "idiot" without even knowing
us.

Now you ackknowledge that we (many of us) know "more
than [you] do about computers", yet you wonder why we
find you rant less than compelling and are suspicious of your
motives.
Why all the accusations that I'm spamming or
doing something illegal?
Click to expand...

SpyBot is said to have several competitors doing that right
now, so given your attitude on INITIAL POST it might have
seemed a good bet to you.

Heck, you could even be a SpyBot person attacking the
product so that all "the experts" would defend it and make
you look stupid -- but I doubt that since the SpyBot people
give their software away for free and seem like extremely
nice folks.

You didn't ask for help, you just spewed venom at all of
use. That's why few have any respect for you and are
looking to determine you REAL MOTIVES.
 
You started this thread with an attitude and you got attitude back. This is a
Microsoft support group and not the proper venue to be attacking another (or
any) product. Yes, Spybot gets recommended quite often but that is usually done
with the admonition that it is not always a good choice for novice users. You
very obviously ran into a problem with it (that probably makes a statement all
by itself) and the place to post would be on a Spybot forum, not on a Microsoft
sponsored peer support group. Regardless of that fact, had you come and asked
about a specific problem, someone would have been willing to see what they could
do for you. That won't happen now and it's all because of the way you opened
the thread.

Good point -- the Spybot folks have a REALLY good forum.

I probably should say this but they seem willing to troubleshoot
other people's problems (not just SpyBot related.)
