Seasons Greetings

[Guest]

2005 has been a busy year for the MVPs/Experts in these newscgroups not to
mention the hard working MS devlopers working tirelessly in the background to
make MSAS/Defender a better product. I for one have thoroughly enjoyed
reading the thousands of questions, comments and answers posted - indeed it
has become a daily ritual which has increased my understanding and knowledge
of the product beyond any other I have installed on my com.

I would, therefore, like to extend my seasons greetings in no particular
order to:

Bill Sanderson
Engel
Andre Da Costa
Randy Knobloch
Dave M
Tom Emmelot
Jupiter Jones
Plun

If there is anyone I have missed, I make my apologies now - you`ve all done
a great job. Now, I await 2006 with baited breath.

Stu

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Thanks, Stu--and the same to you, as well!

 

[Tom Emmelot]

Hello Stu,

thanks and all the best for 2006 to you to, but i think you forgot some
very good worker on the virus front!

Andy Manchesta!

So to him and all the others not mentioned, thanks and all the best in 2006!

So for all the won who had a lot off stress this year a little Christmas
story!


A Christmas Tale...

When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not
produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to
feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. This
stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer,
he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped
the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More stress.

Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the
toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.
So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a
shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard he discovered that the elves
had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his
frustration he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into
hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the
broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom.

Just then the bell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He
opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas
tree. The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it
a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me
to stick it?"

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much, Stu and everyone in here.

The benefit of your collective knowledge and experience has been totally
worthwhile
..
Happy Holidays, and have a wonderful New Year.

Missed that last line the first time around.

Glad you aren't holding your breath--there's awhile to go--and I hope that
bait catches something--preferably earlier than Mike Nashes lenient
timeline of June!

I`d settle for Windows Defender and IE7 but if I was holding my breath, I`d
be pretty blue in the face by now - even worse by June

[Guest]

Hi Stu

Thanks for the email and all the best for the holidays, I can understand why
I was missed as Ive not been very active on here for the last couple of
months, mainly due to working long hours and a family member being very
unwell so Ive not had enough time to get on the Newsgroups as much as Id like
to ,

These Antispyware newsgroup's are excellent and there is many dedicated
helpers who are kind enough to spare their time to help others so Thankyou to
all the regulars for your hard work this year and hopefully Santa will bring
you everything you want this Christmas for being so good )

I'm still playing with Malicious installers and sites as usual and
submitting files to AV & Antispy Vendors so hopefully its helping in a small
way to prevent them infecting pc's rather than trying to clean up once they
have caused the damage.

Ive not been on here for a few weeks so sorry If I miss anyone but Thankyou
to Bill, Plun, Tom, Andre, Mow, Dave, Ron, Randy, JRosenfeld, Richard and all
the helpers for sharing your knowledge and making these Newsgroups so
welcoming and a great place to learn from each other.

Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for 2006 !

Kind Regards

Andy Donohue (AndyManchesta)
