MSN Explorer 9/Microsoft Antispyware

[Guest]

i use MSN Explorer 9 and since its a part of Internet
Explorer. does it mean that MSN Explorer 9 will fully
work with Microsoft Antispyware without a problem?

Yep, MSN Explorer is actually based on the Internet Explorer Engine.

Passport enabled apps may have some unexpected error messages, as I
understand it--there are some URL's associated with Passport that evoke some
popups. I'm not sure what happens from there--I haven't used MSN at all on
a machine with Microsoft Antispyware installed, I don't think.

I remember when i sign-in on MSN Explorer 9 and had
experience a Microsoft Antispyware pop-alert/notification
to allow or block //@mail.mar@ on Trusted Sites.
after that i contacted msn explorer 9 support via email
about this and i remember the reply on email that it
wasn't part of msn explorer or msn messenger.

//@mail.mar@ what is this? is microsoft going to explain
if this is a part of microsoft or what this is? don't
fully trust product support via email since they
sometimes are not very helpful on resolving a problem.

I have see the "//@mail.mar@" issue before, so Bill was right about the
passport issue.

Steve Dodson, of Microsoft, has said that these messages are related to the
Passport use.

The product support folks apparently hadn't seen this issue enough to
recognize it at the time of your call. I haven't used MSN on a machine with
Microsoft Antispyware installed. I do use Hotmail in various ways, as well
as other Passport enabled web sites, and haven't seen the message.
