Trying to configure MS Outlook Express to access to this newsgroup

[ferbar]

Sorry for the lame question, but I'm trying to configure
MS Outlook Express to access to this
newsgroup 'microsoft.private.security.spyware.onlinecommun
ity', and it doesn't work (???).. Is there something
particular that I should do?

Thanks,

FBM

Hey FBM,
{Snagged from MVP Bill Sanderson}

In build .509 of Microsoft Antispyware, go to Help

Click on the middle of the three choices: "support newsgroups on the web."

In the top pane, scroll down. You will find this information, among other:

Viewing these Newsgroups with an NNTP Newsreader

Since these are private newsgroups, your server will require you to logon
using the following information:

a.. Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
b.. Account name: privatenews\spyware
c.. Password: spyware
d.. Note that the password is case-sensitive.
