New promotional program. Yes, Chris is legit MS.

Use the feed back link, it won't bite. ;-)

FWIW, I picked the topic of spyware for the simple reason that it's gotten
totally out of hand. 100% of my personal business the last 6 months has been
nothing but crapware cleanup. And generally I was called for what the client
thought was a completely unrelated reason.

FYI: The major AV vendors are starting to step up to plate. The only issue
is how broadly they'll address such "innocuous" things as Gator/Claria vs.
VX2 and the cool web search crap.

Now if we can just get MS to step into the fray officially, with both feet,
with proper tools to facilitate removing the nasties via 3rd party or MS
tools rather than having to rely on tricks I have up my selves courtesy of
hands on experience and other folks.......

Harry,

I recognize your name. I don't remember ever seeing the name of Cris
Norred
in any of the XP groups I haunt. Do you know him/her? Why would this
person
be posting CDO?

Dubiously, JAX

How in God's name do you think this is going to differ from the
numerous
NG's and the posts pertaining to this topic. In short this is not only
a
waste of space but a little redundant as we have been dealing with
thousands of questions pertaining to spyware\adware for years. If this
supposed eXPert has anything to add he or she can feel free to answer
the
questions posted in any number of these NG's as the rest of us
unrecognized or unheralded individuals do. Please don't go out of your
way
for us or the general public. Like any of the people who reply to these
NG's it is at our conveniance and we certainly don't need your majesty
to
point this out to us. }:~)

There are three types of people in computing, those that can count and
those that can't.


Who dumped in your Cheerio's this morning?. There are any number of non
Microsoft newsgroups on Usenet that you can post your valuable knowledge
to.
If you dislike the way that Microsoft wishes to use their groups then
perhaps you should just move on over.
