Microsoft Hits Spyware on the Head!Written by Ryan Parsons
Continued from page 1
But it doesn't end there! After scan is completed and you are presented with all spyware you can delete, program allows you to automatically create a restore point. I nice Microsoft feature that allows you to easily repair your operating system if any errors occur from deleting installed spyware. My favorite part, however, came right after deletion was complete. At this point, anti-spyware program dives into default settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer. These settings are usually changed by spyware, without any way for a standard user to change settings back. Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Beta will convert EI back to all of its original defaults; another nice perk to using Microsoft. So, how did Microsoft Anti-Spyware program do? Well, lets just say that it does not need 'beta' title anymore. There are no more popups, no more browser redirects, and overall processing speed of computer has greatly increased. It is fun to use internet again! But What About McAfee or Norton Anti-Spyware? Three simple words- 'not as good.' I never use either McAfee or Norton as they too 'infect' a lot of your office and internet related programs. I have encountered multiple instances of Microsoft Office unable to open as it was not getting a 'go ahead' response from Norton. Another good reason why Microsoft Anti-Spyware software is better is that computer infected did have both McAfee and Norton installed already; guess they were not performing too well. If you have spyware on your computer, or think you do, do yourself a favor and head over to Microsoft and wipe out all those annoying issues that come with spyware. Thank You Microsoft!

Continued from page 1 someone like myself who "surf and work" web at least 10 hours a day, feels drag. It doesn't matter which network I'm on, it drags. I can be on a client site with much more speed and performance than my computer at home, I can be in another state at my family house, or I can be at library. I have checked for spyware, connectivity, and viruses, but each time I come up empty. I don't get exact same results every time or with any specific sites, but I remember when high-speed, really meant high-speed. Has Google changed this? Has Google bought rights to internet? It is an unrealistic theory, but I'm curious to understand this.When becoming a domain registar, what control do you have over internet? Does Google have any root hint power? If they do, then maybe, just maybe this theory can be taken more literally. Or could it just be that certain ISP's have did something different. I myself have a large ISP...and anyway, all ISP's lease their network lines from a larger communication providers like AT&T, MCI, and alike. I don't know what is going on and just speculating! But until my internet speed returns I will keep my cache enabled to maximum.
