Can you please give an example of this. I'll test it right here.
Actually, forget that. Can you simply provide some proof that this is happening?
Here's something super simple. Run spybot S&D, and simply copy/paste the
automatic message that will come up when bing.com
supposedly modifies your startup page.
If you're willing, then we can submit this to a variety of tech blogs. I'm sure
they'll be fascinated. As well as to Microsoft
security, since you are claiming that they are straight up lying, and that's
always a good story.
Take care,
Sina

Sorry, but using ie8 and have seen it done on a few others. Only when
going to sites that use or have anything to do with Microsoft.
