spynet community

[Guest]

Hello,

what's the purpose of this community
i have not still see a positif rating from this community when WD say he
have seen changes.
I understand if the change become from unknow program but norton, jva 5-10
or a series of port 137 udp/139 tcp/2869 tcp/445 tcp/1900 udp/138 udp with
change in HKLM .../firewall/policy that is meaningless. But inspite of that
all is always "permit"....

Here's what Microsoft says about this:
---
Windows Defender customers. A network of Windows Defender users also help
define which suspicious programs are classified as spyware. Any Windows
Defender user can join this network and help report potential spyware to
Microsoft. Those who participate in the global network help the Microsoft
spyware team discover and respond to new threats quickly so that everyone
gets better protection.
---

I don't know whether there's any phrasing in any of the antimalware team
white papers that characterizes this any more clearly--as I recall, info
from Spynet is aggregated with information from other sources in the two
papers published so far.

Hello

ok thanks

there is not a lot of people in the network then ;-) because it is always
"no rating found"
how much of time start WD and his predecessor ? and not a good idea of what
is good or not ?
