MSN Antispyware

[CL]

This is the worst f-ng programme I've ever tried use it
and your computer will be destroyed

 

[Engel]

My advice is:
Don't install if you have no experience with incomplete
beta programs.

Remember, this is still beta and cannot be judged as a
finished shipping product. I also recommend using
additional AntiSpyware utilities in tandem with Microsoft
AntiSpyware, also use your Antivirus solution to do a
thorough scan in safe mode also and ensure that it fully
up to date.

Good luck

Engel

Trojans and worms get very angry when you install MSAS and will punish you
if you give them enough room to do so. If your machine is well compromised,
you need to clean it FAST. If you don't, they will get your computer and do
bad things.

My computers with AntiSpyware are living well, Mr Troll;-)

I've installed it on three computers of various
manufacturers/specs and had no problems - it also works
happily with Norton AV 2005

Only if your PC is infected to begin with....

Get beta 2 out there.
Fix the many reported bugs starting with the most severe.

Most importantly, fix the massive number of false
positives.

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Tell us more about the false postives? There are some, and a number have
been high-profile here and elswhere, but I sure wouldn't characterize the
number as "massive"--especially compared to other products.

I've been using the Bata program for three or four months
and have had no trouble with it. You must have gotten it
installed wrong or something like that.

 

[JohnF.]

Massive false postives? What app are you using?

 

[JohnF.]

This kind of comment comes from someone who isn't even using the program -
they are either a troll with nothing better in life to do or some kid trying
to stir up trouble to compensate for the F's he came home from school with.

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Sometimes it comes from somebody who genuinely has a bad experince. There
are a few f these--but it's a pitty when they can't figure out how to
actually describe their experience well enough to get help (or perhaps are
too embarassed to say that they've already formatted and reinstalled over
the disaster, rather than seeking help.
