MS spyware

July 07, 2005 ( geek )

OK, so I've never been a big MS fan, but they've crippled their own anti-spyware tool to allow Claria (remember Gator?) throw. That's like making a bullet proof vest with a large hole around the heart.

Of course, anyone who's trusting any single anti-spyware tool prolly deserves what they get. I use SpyBot and Ad-Aware together, FireFox with my own adblock filters, and don't use IE, so I feel reasonably safe.
