    MS roots out firefox spyware.

    I've been beta testing the new microsoft anti-spyware, and have been 100% impressed with the results.

    Not only have microsoft rounded on traditional threats like gator, but their appraisal of firefox was absolutely spot on, and confirmed what i already knew..

    Check out this screenshot i took.

    Microsoft continues to try to eliminate the competition,lol.
    What's funny is the fact that microsoft is calling Mozilla a security risk.

    you continue to dis firefox because you dont understand the concept plug-ins

    you may have downloaded Firefox from a third party site that bundled spyware with it.
    Firefox has no spy/adware in it. period.
    false positive maybe...i have run Firefox since .08 and use M$ antispy...never hadFirefox show ...anyone else here get it shown???


    grab, grab ..go here to find out some interesting and useful info about Firefox..might revise your opinion

    Why do you hate a browser thats open source ,blocks popups,faster, more versitile, and (for now) safer than M$ Explorer ????

    did it get a bad review in Al Jezeera??

    If I remember correctly even Bill Gates said internet explorer was a security risk,so much so, that they wouldn't be bundling it with the their next operating system.

    Funny? It's absolutely priceless. Only MikeHunt would be stupid enough to so passionately debunk a blatantly photoshopped image which was put up for a joke. Hilarious.

    Its kinda like the pot calling the kettle insecure and vulnearable.
    Insert sig image here

    Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
