"Reasons For Retention

Installs without user permission, presenting only a vague and
misleading EULAChanges system configuration without user permission at
time of change.

Defends against removal of, or changes to, its components silently
modifies other programs' information or website content as displayed.

Includes mechanisms to thwart removal by security or anti-spyware
products.

Cannot be uninstalled by Windows Add/Remove Programs and no uninstaller
is provided with application"
 
I would think so, myself. If I had a machine with the binaries on it, I'd
sure be submitting suspected spyware reports.

I suspect that the team in charge of definitions has heard about this one.
I'm not going to hit them over the head with it, and I don't have a test
case to determine if they do detect it, in the long run.
 
To plun
Just received instructions for loading and installing PC-cillin 2006.
Regular consumer release and it is free for me. Hope you get the free
version also. Now wait for the drawing for cash prizes. Good luck.

Hi Ira

I installed it last week, great ! Minor changes such as the Security
center was removed.

And I also got a subscription bonus, really nice, for some Excel sheets
;)

MS Beta seems to be "mission impossible" to get a ticket.
But all Betas comes to p2p before MS open downloads so it doesn´t
matter.

Maybe they just want users which says "YES, yes and great" to
everything ?!
 
Hoi Plun,

did you get a Swedish version?
Because if i go to the download site i see only English versions!

Regards >*< TOM >*<
 
Hoi back Tom

I prefer english versions ;)

And the market is to small för TM to translate
PC-Cillin to swedish but thats no problem.

Dutch, Frogs, Fritz and Spaghetti must also soon be ready. ;)
 
Hi Plun,

at the Main screen of your version is there 2006 or 14?
and the Security button was also gone in the Dutch version.
I go to Las Palmas for 2 weeks so back on 2 december, let you now
because you may think that i am in a botnet again! ;)

See you, >*< TOM >*<
 
Hi Tom

Internet Security 2006.

Security center is removed. It probably comes
back I believe. Maybe a bandwith problem ?

Well, Have a nice trip down to the canaries...... ;)

Don´t drink too many beers and Las Palmas harbour could be
dangerous for drunken "sailors" from Holland ;)
