Microsoft says sorry for AntiSpyware error

Microsoft has publicly apologized and compensated Web directory Startpagina.nl, one of MSN’s main competitors in Holland, after the software giant’s anti-spyware product incorrectly flagged the site as malicious.

A Microsoft representative confirmed on Thursday that the Windows AntiSpyware beta prevented people from setting Startpagina as their home page. The representative said this problem has now been fixed in the latest update of the program.

I always liked happy endings.

    Xaser I agree that we should all just use Linux. Games wise (for what you can get to work) or just use Cedega you get alot better graphics I can play Doom3 in windows and get about 60 fps and with linux i grab a total of 93 (with full graphics).
