I am trying to access this newsgroup through a news client.

Somewhere on the MS site there are instructions (with password) to
subscribe to microsoft.private.security.spyware.*

but I cannot locate it.

Anyone?
 
Hello occam,

Or to set it up manually through O/E here it the pertinent information:

Using NNTP, provide the following info for your NNTP client (such as
Microsoft Outlook Express):
- NNTP Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
- Account name: privatenews\spyware
- Password: spyware

I wonder how long will this Newsgroup remain "PRIVATE" especially the
released version is already out. Why can't this NG be on
msnews.microsoft.com?

What is still private about this product?

The future support mechanisms and venues for Windows Defender have not been
announced. I don't know when this is likely to happen--I'd guess later in
this year, or perhaps early next year. Microsoft has devoted substantial
resources to providing support venues which are both as universally
accessable as possible, and attractive to both the novice and expert
community. This isn't an easy balance to walk--they want to be able to
measure feedback and provide clear identification of responders who have
given good advice consistently over time. Many folks prefer NNTP for ease
of use, and speed.

We'll see what happens--I don't know any specifics.
