Can anyone decipher?

Also, I have another scanning program which is self starting. It showed 40
spy problems. What gives, Microsoft? Your program showed everything is fine.

Some anti-spyware programs do the equivalent of warning against the
presence of windows (the glass-in-wall kind) on the fifty-eighth floor,
because passers-by at street level might spy on you through them.

It's a relief to find a scanner that does NOT complain about hundreds of
harmless files on every scan.


Then again, if you want to sell a lot of anti-spyware, step number one is
to make people believe they REALLY REALLY NEED it -- so "find" as much as
you can.

Update to Windows Defender-- the beta2 version of Microsoft Antispyware:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...E7-DA2B-4A6A-AFA4-F7F14E605A0D&displaylang=en

It will eliminate this error, among other reasons because this functionality
is no longer in the product.
