Re: I hope microsoft chooses to protect its produc

We are talking about a spyware removal app. Just because I run spybot doesn't mean spybot is the arbiter of what runs on my computer. Because I run it so that programs that I choose to not be on my computer won't get on my computer. In the end I am the arbiter because I choose to run the app. Now if the app was bundled with windows with no way to disable then yes you would be correct in saying microsoft is the arbiter. Also what is so horrible about microsoft providing a spyware app? I think they should provide spyware and virus apps, because when you pay over 100 bucks for an OS, you should get apps to protect it for free. Its not fair to the consumer to make them spring up more cash for basic apps like a virus scanner.
