Be careful with Microsoft's AntiSpyware Tool

[ivanski]

One day the Microsoft fans found out that Microsoft's AntiSpyware Tool
removes their Internet Explorer :)
From Mircosoft said that is because the brogram is beta version.

[fajarzone]

i also use microsoftantispyware now,but didnt delete internet explorer...but i am scare now

[bkclan]

The issues with it have been resolved now. If you want something safe use Adaware

Use either Adware (made by lavasoft) or SpyBot search and destroy. I use them both as a kinda "combo" and it does the job very well.

[bkclan]

Yeah, I do the same.
Adaware: www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
SpyBot: security.kolla.de/

Who cares? IE sucks anyways. It is open to any adware viruses like netware or whatever it's called. Fortunately I downloaded avast (a free fw and virus search) and it removed it. And now I use firefox cause it's so much safer.

Why don't people switch to Firefox already? it's much safer and is really easy to use. it will even trasfer all your Favorites from IE

And one of the best things I like about Firefox is that you can turn off a lot of advertisments and banners. I surf Yahoo mail ad-free

[utnsclan]

Yahoo mail??!?!?!

Why don't you change to Gmail already :P

[bkclan]

People don't use firefox because the majority of people like to stick with what their computer came with and not to 'mess around with it'. Crazy but true
