MicroSoft's Anti-Spyware Sells Out

Well, there you have it. Did you ever wonder if Invisus would stand against Micro$oft in the Anti-Spyware, or even the PC Security business? The doubt had crossed my mind a time or two. But this very timely article has made sure to keep me grounded. Invisus is going to do just fine in the long haul.

From Ziff Davis:
"A few weeks ago, the nastyware from Claria, called Gator, was flagged and removed by Microsoft’s anti-spyware program. But now that the two companies are in buyout talks, suddenly an updated version of the Microsoft program is programmed to “ignore” those spyware apps by default. And let’s face it, who changes the defaults? It’s just another example of Microsoft selling out. Didn’t we learn this lesson long ago? One company, controlling everything, just isn’t good for users."
