The great irony here maybe that some software companies
including Microsoft seem all to keen to alter our
computers with additions to toolbars, favourites, etc
often more for their corporate benefit than the end user,
and often without explicit permission.

They say what goes around comes around and maybe it is
time for Microsoft to pay for its part in making it too
easy for malevolent concerns to compromise our PC.

Better late than never: maybe. However, maybe they have
been far too complacent for too long.
 
Actually it is really not microsofts responsiblity to keep
your computer safe. If you get malware on your system it
is your own fault for not haveing the right protection in
place to prevent things like that happening, so really its
no one fault but your own.

They only saw market for a service and now have jumped
into it. Get a clue..
 
They know Windows better than anyone, they make, of course it can be their
responsibility to make Anti Spyware software. And kudos to them for doing
it!

I think MS is starting to pay a price for about 10 years of forcing
their engineers to say "yes" to every gimmicky feature and revenue
generating tie-in that the marketing people could come up with. The
platform is now vastly overcomplicated and burdened with junk that the
actual users never wanted.

This doesn't happen only at Microsoft, of course. But Microsoft builds
the platform, and it's a platform the whole world relies on. For now anyway.

Here's an analogy. One day my phone rings - it's some idiot in mainland
China trying to sell me herbal Viagra. I hang up, he calls back in 2
minutes and tries again. Over and over, until I have to take the phone
off the hook. I call the phone company and they say sorry, there's
nothing we can do about it, we just supply the network, it's not our
business to prevent unwanted calls. They suggest I contact a volunteer
organization working on the problem.
