"Although, StevenFromTexas, the confusion is your fault, since only a
subscriber could access the current Ratings, CR repeats these tests annually
in the September issue and you provided no link...."
come on Bitman, you blame SFT 'cause you and your buddy ScottD can't read?
or won't ask for clarification before ScottD does one of his cute little
hissy fits?
BTW, you seem to follow ScottD around and defend him with lengthy (and
sometimes helpful and informative) posts. are you his alter ego; or are you
one and the same?
""...Until such time as this is visible to the world, your statement is
useless.
In fact, it still will be precisely because Defender hasn't been released as
a final version.""
really? hmmm. so it's *your* statements, opinions that are useful? hmmm.
please, get off your high horse and join the real world. the world of
'professional' unpaid beta testers seems a high calling indeed.
""....The funny thing here is that everyone knows that Defender will work,
the only question is how well. My guess is that Microsoft isn't going to
provide a useless tool to its customers after this much investment....""
now this is just plain laughable. in another, similar, thread down the list
a bit, you wrote:
""As for MS Antispyware, the product was dead the day it was acquired,....""
so it seems, ms has some experience 'investing' time and money on a product
it deems useless.
""...My interest is in what motivates these kinds of attacks. Only ownership
in
competing antimalware, association with a purveyor of malware or simple
Microsoft bashing come to mind....""
my interest is what motivates these kinds of blind defenses from supposed
non-invested participants such as you Bitman and ScottD. take a breath...a
deep breath...and realize no one is attacking *you*, or any of your basic
belief systems.

it can take care of itself. and they actually pay people to do just that.
have a *nice* day.
