OT: where are the Microsoft Antispyware newsgroups?

[Walterius]

My system crashed and I lost the ng locations. I didn't have them backed up
either.

If I eat wormsor otherwise do penance, will some kind soul tell me where
they are? I thought they were at private.newsgroups.microsoft.com, but
there's no such ng.

Thanks, I found those, but they are not what I wanted. I wanted to read the
ngs in Outlook Express.

Hi,

Did you read the "Viewing these Newsgroups through Outlook Express"
part of that Web page?

I did, and I couldn't find anything that said "do this to read the ng in
OLX." I am visually handicapped, and that may have been my problem.
