And Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

If M$ could really have anticipated everything that any friggin' malware creep might ever manage to spawn against dopes like me and had tried to legislate against it, we'd still be running in DOS and the Amiga would be where the pc is today....issuing anti-spyware downloads and requiring us to register our OS25 license numbers....hmmm

I just spent all weekend reinstalling Win98 'cos I got a spy in my box on Friday, which knackered the whole shebang.

Well I'm going for it...'cos hindsight is a wonderful, wonderful thing!

EDIT: Seems that users of Win98 need not apply....bugger!

I have been running microsoft anti-spyware for nearly a month now.. It works great and does some things to restore your browser to it's default settings. I still use a multi-product solution however..

I installed VNC on my parents PC so I could remote access them when they get stuck and phone me.

MS Antispyware says that VNC is a major security risk and reccomends to delete it! lol
