False Positives

TO let every one know. As with most other Microsoft
software, this one already is has a problem. For one
thing, it falsely detected a bunch of legitimate
shortcut/URL's in my Favorites as Adware EZCybersearch.
As with ALL MS software, use with caution. Kinda like
buying a Ford.

Nothing wrong with a Ford. Only good thing about blowing up a Chevy is it's
always in the upper end but then it's all to easy to blow up a Chevy. Ford's
cranks haven't been too hot but I've yet to break one and that goes back to
a '64 Ford 427, bored and blueprinted with what was then called an "under
the hood" BDS blower which still stuck thru the hole in the hood I had to
cut.

But then, the Dodge brothers built Ford engines in the early days. Hemi or
Cammer, I still like the Cammer which I think Ford is bringing back.

Ah who cares as long as you can get 400 horses and at least 160 mph in a
street legal car or truck. Speaking of trucks, Bully Dog I think it is, has
a hellacious get up and go for the diesels. Ever see a Ford F350 smoke 350
zed? whoa baby. unfrigging real.

MS has just bought the thing... they have not screwed it
up!

How you actually looked at these shortcuts/favorites to make sure they are
actually what they say they are? I have about 2,000 favorites and none were
detected as adware/spyware.

Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D also have given me numerous false positives. That's
just what happens when you run these kinds of software. Sometimes it detects
legitimate actions as illegitimate. But I'd much rather have a few false
positives than no protection at all.
