Then they bought a spyware cleaning company last year (and released a beta spyware cleaner recently). And they just recently bought another enterprise anti-virus company that also has some security tools. Soon, they'll be releasing "something" that covers security, AV, and spyware cleaning all in one. What would be nicer, though, is if MS would fix the security model in the base OS that allows for these things to spread so easily, instead of adding more and more layers of bandaids on top. Fix the foundation, don't try to prop up the walls with two-by-fours. -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
