I could not access the Internet (DNS error, cannot find
server) after using MSFT's spyware (Beta version).
Details follow...
I downloaded MSFT's spyware successfully last Friday
(1/14/05). I ran it, and it discovered approx 42
problems. I chose to delete or quarantine the majority
of these. After I did this, I could not access the
Internet (DNS error, "cannot find server" message). I
called my ISP provider and we could not get the Internet
to work. I was connecting to the ISP fine via my DSL
connection.
Today, I used my PC system to restore to a prior date.
This enabled me to get my system back to the point where
I could use the Internet (pre MSFT spyware).
It is great to see a MSFT product for spyware. It looks
like it picks up stuff that may be missed by Norton and
Spybot. However, running the product made the Internet
unavailable to my PC. This was a problem. In addition,
Microsoft may also be "overreaching" when MSFT spyware
changed my start page for the Internet automatically via
spyware.
