    Angry A New low for Microsoft?

    This morning i noticed that my MS anti Spyware beta's overnight scan found 2 items, one is the VNC i installed yesterday, but the second is Mozilla, which it classifies as a hijacker and suggests Remove" as the default action. Mozilla has been on my system since long before the MSAS, and has never been called a hijacker before, I can only assume it was added to the last definition set that the software downloaded automatically..... Does anyone else see a danger in this????


    Follow up: I decided to see what would happen if i followed the default action, and it did not remove firefox, which still works fine so It's not as bad as I had imagined....

    I think the M$ stuff is a bit keen on products that maintain their own recently used lists(MRU's?), & I think both you mentioned do, other similar products probaly still report this stuff but 'less strongly' - personally for once though I'd have to agree with Billy's slightly mis-leading impression as its better than the other way around
