I think that's why I run Adaware and Spybot S&D as well as the M$ POS.

Just shows that MS is really not concerned about this stuff if there is a financial interest involved. They should be ashamed.

My main worry is for those 'not in the know' as far as what Gator is/was. We all know what this crap did/does; a lot of people won't.
Not often I agree with the big ArtZ :blink: , but I certainly do on this one. Bear btw. Should point out for all all you chaps that do use Spybot, that even it has at least 4 products checked by default in its ignore list: C-dilla (x2), New.net and SideStep. First thing I do with a new build is to 'uncheck' these. Anything that is or was previously famously known as Spyware/Adware gets no place on any of my boxes, regardless of whether Spybot or M$ says it's safe or not. |

But however, If MS bought that company, they will probably take the adware out of it ... making it an actual useful ???? program .... maybe :)

Suddenly software becomes useful when Microsoft is behind the helm? I don't fucking think so.

Obviously M$ wants to keep that software on everybody's machine so they can eventually track people's behaviors and likes. They are not paying 500 million for a password manager.
