Your a new poster here. Every once in a while, some m$ paid patsy shows up to claim their software is good, and I suspect you are another silly m$ employee. > Hey pal I am the central scrutinizer not you OK.

You're also obviously new to usenet Eventually, I expect you'll learn to trim your articles, of you'll find yourself plonked by all of the regular posters here. M$ has purchased another anti virus application. I expect, within a year or two, they will give up trying to maintain it, just like they did before, with MSAV. I've gotten so frustrated trying to maintain systems where the fools who designed them made the mistake of using M$ software, that, yes, I really dislike the company. For you to call me an idiot for blaming m$ for producing crapware, instead of good software, just shows who the real idiot is. I find it amusing, that you are afraid to use your real name. I'm laughing at your silly reply. Dave Hodgins -- Change nomail.afraid.org to ody.ca to reply by email. (nomail.afraid.org has been set up specifically for use in usenet.

It's kind of like having an encrypted letter in a safe, and having someone attempt to test the strength of the encryption. He walks in the room, can't open the safe, and reports to you that he can't read the letter - the conclusion that the encryption is strong at this point would be erroneous.
