I don't think they intend this to replace commercial AV but as a "hotfix", if you will, against the top virus \ spyware threats out there. We all know how many home users have no AV at all or they think their expired AV that came with their PC is good enough. Then there's the "Spyware, what's that?" question... --Brian -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Evan Mann Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 4:59 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: MS Antivirus \ Spyware I wouldn't see a need to run Spyware apps on my servers, so I had no reason to test it there. I tested on my XP machine, and so did my other techs. It found some things you wouldn't need it to, like VNC, and Dameware NT Utilities as potential threats, but the default action was Ignore . I choose to Always Ignore on those type of apps. Ideally an enterprise console would let you specify what to ignore ahead of time. Sunbelt's CounterSpy Enterprise, which is built on the same technology, has these features. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Berdt van der Lingen Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 4:56 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: MS Antivirus \ Spyware On Thu, 6 Jan 2005 16:11:09 -0500, Evan Mann <emann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I've downloaded this, installed it, ran it, and it's pretty impressive. > Lots of functionality.
