The catch is: It's free now. Just wait and see for how long... (prediction: as enough users have been made dependant on the tool, it will become subscription software)

I read an article on Yahoo yesterday that said Microsoft is going to make Anti-Virus software and SpyWare removal software.  It mentioned something about one or the other being free, and then they would start charging for it.  Typical tactic for them.

The question to ask ourselves is - are Amiga owners being spied on?

I know a lot of people are using Jabberwocky(?) with MSN... and I've
noticed my Voyager web browser always sends a few packets somewhere
when I close it down...

Maybe we've become a little too complacent.

I remember the Amiga net game dynAMIte used to read some library and
display your system configuration to other potential combatants too!

I wonder what AMIGA software is secretly doing the dirty on us!

There is nothing wrong with charging for software. It has made them successful.

Charging for software is not the tactic.

I wouldn't touch an MS product for spyware removal or virus removal with a bargepole, personally.

Competition in the internet security software market is paramount. How great would it be for every PC to have the same known exploits in its spy/virus checker? :-(

I hope to God this never takes off.

Take note that not only do you need to have IE6 installed (?) but it is also paired with it's new Windows Authentication program (Although you are not forced to comply as of yet).

It's like Larry Flynt saying "I declare war on pornography!" or Tony Blair saying "I do actually give a {bleep} what the British electorate thinks!".

I agree!  How can anyone even *think* this will be produced for AmigaOS?  The only spyware it will remove is for X86 boxes!!!!
