Default conflict with S&D


Hey folks , I have noticed that MSantispy
removes "searchsquire" from the list of immunised items in
spybot s&d .
To test my system I downloaded yahoo software. S&d
detected a change attempt to my homepage from it, an
attempt by it to change the .blank page and an attempt to
install a searchbar. The MSantispy only detected the
attempt to change the homepage.
I did go ahead and installed MS Messanger and yahoo
linksBar. Webroot spysweeper detected several reg keys as
spyware, however MSantispy(like most s/ware failed)
I have to say though I find it quick to launch at
startup,very fast in fact when you compare it to prevx
home. However it lacks some features which are present in
prevx home. All in all though I haven't seen any system
damage.MS firewall appears to be working though I'll have
to examine previous postings enough.
Oh and there is still that fecking DSO exploit in ie
explorer even though MSantispy blow 59000 ways of entrying
your system!
Oh yeh and I hate the way there is no manual update button
like syware blaster or adaware.
In Microsoft they call betasoftware 'dogfood'- however
seeing as it did pick up some edonkey2000 key I guess it
can't be all that bad.

Only if you let it! (Choose 'ignore' like the rest of us.)
