| I was so excited about the GIANT SpyNet MicroSoft deal, but these new Weatherbug developments sicken me. EVERYONE knows weatherbug is crapware that back-doors a lot of junk on to your machine that no user would actually want. For MicroSoft to exempt them from it's Signature list, or Anyone else for that matter, renders their purchase of GIANT's product worthless. Since users seldom know or are given a choice to install garbage like Weatherbug, they should at least be given a Choice to remove it. Microsoft should keep all crapware signatures in their removal tool, and if one of them doesn't like it, then Microsoft can make their software "warn" the end user before it's removal. That way the power goes back to the end user to keep the crapware or not, instead of giving that power back to the crapware maker. I'm desperate to find a solution to this problem as I have the daily headache to keeping over 100 PC's on my company LAN clean. I was hoping GIANT was going to do it for me, but I'll have to rethink that strategy now that I've discovered that MicroSoft can be so easily influenced by any crapware makers lawyer. |
