Hello Microsoft,

Like earlier you did say that Startpagina.nl is spyware.
Formula1.com isn't spyware too!

Please change it,

Thank you.
 
I realize that this is a hot issue.

Can you say which build of Microsoft Antispyware you are using--see Help,
about. The two possibilities are .501 and .509. .509 has some changes,
perhaps in this area of the product.

Can you say exactly what happened?

I've seen this message myself, at least second hand--related to a site that
I know well, and I don't believe there's any active "decision" by the
product about a given site--I think this is just the way this feature works
in the beta.
 
Hello,

I'm using the newest build .509
I changed my settings to have formula1.com as startpage.
After that, i scanned the computer, becuase it was updated
a few days ago. And saw that the startpage of formula1
was a high risk!

I said Always ignore after that...


Greets,

Peter
 
Hmm . I have never liked the way this feature works--it seems entirely too
simple-minded for its own good.

I believe if you go to tools, advanced tools, browser hijack settings
restore, and set your desired settings into the URL there, this will all go
away.

But clearly it isn't right yet, even in the new build.
 
i have now changed the startpage URL to Formula1.com and
the ms-antispyware do nothing say about high risk !?
what are you telling here?

my version :
Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.509
This version expires on: 31.07.2005
Spyware Definition Version: 5693 (27.02.2005 18:52:53)
 
Thanks - that's as I remember it, as well. In my case, the warning was
related to this sige:

http://fgcquaker.org

which is about as safe a site as I can imagine. I'm certain you can make
this go away by modifying the URL's in the tools, advanced tools, browser
hijack settings restore--but I wish that I knew what this apparently
simple-minded feature is trying to do--because it clearly is wreaking havoc
in its current condition.
