I don't want you to wet your pink panties.
So maybe for all the hysterics here I should correct my statement as follows:
By using (the latest version of) Firefox, Mozilla or Opera you drastically reduce the possibility of Malware being installed on your computer, compared to someone using IE with ActiveX and ActiveScripting enabled, as most of my (unexperienced) customers did before consulting me.
Or you want to tell me that Spooner above with his 14.000 infections was using FF? Well if you do, then it's my part to piss my pants of laughter.
Cheers,
Michael
What ever ass <Insert random joke about the "pink panties" being your mother/sister/wife/girlfriend's>. I wasn't talking about Spooners specific situation, just the broad and ignorant statement that you made. What makes it funnier is that you have customers that you consult. No need to get uptight buddy, but whatever. If you really feel like your feelings were hurt, PM me then...

Symantec 10 corporate catches spyware. It actually catches quite a lot. It has it's own preferences on how to handle spyware seperate from viruses. From an administration standpoint, I love it. I have one program that I have to administer to catch spyware and viruses and it's a realtime scanner too, which some of these anti-spyware programs don't have, unless you buy the "pro" version.
Has any one else beta tested Microsoft's Anti-Spyware? It seems okay to me. I was thinking about imaging a drive with some spyware to see how it stacked up with the others.
