RE: Microsoft's Anti-spyware Software...
I don't understand how this has a high level of danger. MS said that their threat level for the worst type of spyware was medium; there surely is something more to this
But it's just a BETA, they want feedback, as long as they know that their information isn't fully true, they will (hopefully) change it.
From what I've heard about this software it should be able (if they configure it correctly) to perform intelligent options to get rid of spyware\adware, so hopefully when it's out it may remove the sponsor program by uninstalling Messenger Plus and then telling people to reinstall it without accepting the sponsor...
However, when this software is around it will probably automatically (when real time protection is enabled) make it difficult to install Plus with the sponsor program. Now many programs like ad-watch already do this, but not everyone has them, eventually MS will make it so the majority of computer users get this software on their computer (it will be harder to keep it off than on), so my main concern about this is that no one will be able to install the sponsor and Patchou's income will suffer as a consequence.
