ms beta1 vs giant

[Thomas]

A test of both the original and ms beta1 showed
that besides renaming everything to Microsoft,
MS have removed some advanced tools:

* Advanced Tools\System Tools\
- System Explorers\"Internet Applications" removed
- System Inoculation removed

* Advanced Tools\Privacy Tools\
- "Secure File Shredder" removed

Sad to note that they have dropped functionality
for no obvious reason.

a little improvement though:

* Real-Time Protection
- System Agents "Windows Services" added

Hopefully MS will make the product not worse,
for Giant AntiSpyware was a great (independent) tool.

I guess they plan to add these features exclusively in the paid version.
Giant AntiVirus wasn't free either.

Giant wasn't free, but it was compatible with Win 9x. M$
had to go to extra expense and effort to REMOVE that
compatibility. Nice work, Microsoft.

Indeed. I was thinking about getting a decent antispyware
program to my internet computer (which happens to have
Windows 98SE), but apparently I'll just have to go with
Spybot from now on.
