Re: MS Anti-Spyware Beta
 

Think you're right Bifta, as far as I know Logitech are still using Backweb if you allow it to install the auto update feature. Hateful thing, I refuse to allow it to install. Recently installed the drivers for my webcam and it tried to install backweb when I forgot to untick the box, spybot went apesh*t LOL

Re: MS Anti-Spyware Beta
 

I have a logitech desktop system, and i know with the manager installed adware wasnt happy. but surely they sorted that by now??

Otherwise think your right Bifta. ( again ) ;)

Re: MS Anti-Spyware Beta
 

Logitech Desktop Manager hasn't been updated for a while (at least 4-5 months) and was still using backweb when I installed it last month. As far as a lot of sites are concerned backweb is spyware and therefor a lot of anti-spyware tools see it as such.

Yep, installed along side my mx 700, have since removed it, just installed and run the new M$ spyware ( oops, anti-spyware :rolleyes: :p: ) found 7 items, so at least it seems to be doing its job.
One thing I would like to see is a forward / back button on the interface, I made a mistake ( i know what your all saying, :shocked: you did ???? :rolleyes: ) anyhoo, it would be a nice feature. IMO

M$oft Security Tools!!!
 

You'd be mad to trust them!!

Re: M$oft Security Tools!!!
 

Why? The anti-spyware tool is just a rebadge of Giants anti-spyware software. All they have done to it at the moment is change the branding to MS :confused: lets face it if MS cannot get it's coders to stop leaving bugs and exploits in it's operating systems and software then it needs to look for ways of protecting the users a it better.

Strange that :erm: anyone would think the BBC got it wrong and only the Anti-Spyware software released today ;)

Re: [Merged] MS Anti-Spyware Beta
 

Mine detected RealVNC, TightVNC and eMule as spyware.
At least the real time protection will help the IE users stay secure. :tu:
Nice little app so far.

:erm:

Re: [Merged] MS Anti-Spyware Beta
 

Well it does. :confused:

Re: [Merged] MS Anti-Spyware Beta
 

Probally the new anti spyware probally detected it as spyware and removed it, because the maker used hacked software ( again ) somewhere in Microsoft. :rofl:

I will await sp1 of these applications before I use them.
