Re: Replace anything or additional protection?

I'd only use it as additional protection (for at least a couple months) until it becomes accepted as being trustworthy.

Granted, you should already have 2-3 spyware detection programs to cover your bases.

I'd only use it as additional protection (for at least a couple months) until it becomes accepted as being trustworthy.
And at that point MS will choose to allow thier "partners" to send you "advertising". Note, this is not spyware or adware, because they are MS partners.

Seriously, what idiot would trust their personal data to anything MS puts out? MS would never _really_ stop adware, especially if it comes from an MS "partner". Then is it just "targeted advertising"..

Is this true, they will actually put ads on your computer in a anti-spyware program?
