Plun, If you are a beta tester for TM you won't have to buy it. Freebie
for testing. Nice gimmick plus I enjoy using the product.

: Hi Ira
:
: With MSAS this is no real "beta" process, this was a commercial
: program which was for sale from Giant, MS changed some minor functions
: but was probably unsure about how this works in a larger user group.
:
: So they put a big stamp on it "Beta" and started distribution, no
: suppor and no obligations, smart !
:
: But this is a big success nevertheless
:
: TrendMicros beta test for PC-cillin 2006 is completely different with
: structure and several releases to be sure that it will be a success.
:
: Within TM2006 it´s a strong real time protection and this protection
: can sometimes be tricky to handle, I have been down in Internet cloaks
: and checked this
MSAS and TM can really defeat each other !
:
: But I´m sure that I´m going to buy TM2006 already.
