10,920 to be exact! SAVE MESSENGER PLUS! Microsoft has some good free programs, like, um... MSN Messenger 7.5 (my dads a beta tester). They also have some not so good free programs, like AntiSpyware (it is a beta, but that doesn't mean they need to flag a spyware-less program, while keeping the actual spyware). It doesn't make sense.

Because unfortunatly many people blindfolly trust programs like that without even questioning 1 bit of what they do or without reading/knowing what the limitations are of such programs...

All this because of the current trend that the more a program detects the better it is (disregarding what exactly it is it detects). That's what you get when the "fight against malware" gets out of hand and taken over by people who have every benefit in keeping the users dumb and uninformed, all under the name of "make a PC n00b friendly".

Don't get me wrong though, when they do work like they should, they are very good tools, but still should be used with some basic knowledge and common sense...

yep cookie, its all about profits/market share - Most users would think the more the program finds (regardless of whether its actually spyware) the better it is - hence more users will change over to that program :(

I've signed too, because i have been using MsgPlus! for a very very long time, i think since v1, and you can choose wether to install the spyware or not to.
Although i think searching a better sponsor would be a lot better, because thisone sucks, and mucks up a lot of computers...

Wouldn't it be easy to take the letters to a printing company? You'll have to pay a fee but it will be quick and cheaper than buying new ink every 10mins.
