Hello Steve and everyone,
I read it. That is the best tone I have seen from Microsoft. But I still have
some concerns.
However, by following that train of thought, I installed the free Microsoft
Windows Defender and it is currently running. During the install, it asks you
to make choices in the typical Microsoft fashion, with sketchy info and half
threats to encourage you to take the "recommended" option, which I did. That is
the spyware network. Ironically, that is a form of spyware in itself. It even
admits that some personal information may be inadvertently transferred to
Microsoft.
I now have so many layers of protection, I'm not sure my computers have enough
CPU cycles to do anything else.
I guess its always best to use a prophylactic. But usually not two or more at
the same time.
Defender found no problems. Same for Windows Live OneCare, and my non-Windows
BitDefender, on all my computers.
Steve: Because of you and Microsoft, I'll sleep better tonight.
... Phil
