Idiotic
by Jack GrantWhy does the new version of Microsoft AntiSpyWare require me to hit “next” four fricking times to complete the installation?
It may seem minor to those of you who routinely install this kind of crap, but I support several Windows XP installations at a distance (across continents and oceans) and have a BIG problem with this kind of bullshit.
What is the fucking problem with these people? Don’t they have a fucking clue that the ordinary home user doesn’t understand the problem that the anti-spyware software is trying to solve, and adding extra “next” buttons to the install just ADDS to the confusion?
Fucking maroons…
Yes, I’m pissed.

Jack,
It’s a piece of crap program anyways, Consider this: Explorer is the reason we get spammed so much. I think its preset with XP particularly to do that. So by using their spyware, you automatically allow them to keep their craptraps on your computer. I highly recommend SpySweeper. This sucker catches every thing in the world and is really an awesome program. They also make WindowWasher I mentioned in a previous post. I can’t recommend their Spamfilter though…it doesn’t like my LAN connection and gave me nothing but porblems so after asking for help several times and getting help from Webroot, I finally gave up and dumped it. Between using Mozilla/Firefox, etc. and SpySweeper/ WindowWasher, my computer is almost back to the non-spam, non-spylike splendor of pre-Windows XP-dom, but I get to keep the neat XP tricks.

I upgraded to Norton 2005 a couple weeks ago. What a complete pain in the ass. They made it so difficult that if I could, I would have canceled it and gone with another anti viral software. It was a lenghthy ordeal that even resulted in my getting the blue screen of death at one point… while running XP. Something that had never happened to me before.
I am of the opinion that all these companies suck.
