Just so you know, the comments weren't directed towards you but to the person who created the screenshot.j79zlr said:wow, you have some hostility towards me. I'm sorry you love Microsoft so much you can't even have a sense of humor.
Hence, the "beta" tag.j79zlr said:Giant's product has been known to have lots of false positives, I would still recommend that noone besides developers install this software.
All good advise. :up:Of course prevention is the best option, install all updates including SP2. Remove the MSJVM. Make sure you have an updated antivirus. Don't use IE for anything except getting those Windows Updates. Run AdAware and Spybot weekly. Use SpywareBlaster, no system resources, and it blocks known bad sites/cookies.
Have to see if the issues are sorted out in the final release. I posted a link in the other thread where testers can report false positives to the MS team that's in charge now. Hopefully, they'll do something about it.j79zlr said:I know that it is still a beta, but it was a problem when Giant was selling it as well.
Same here. Installed on several machines without a problem with Visual Studio .NET, Office 2003 or any other apps that were on that list MS put up.As far as SP2, I've installed it on dozens of PC's now, and have yet to have a single problem, including PC's with some of the apps listed my Microsoft as a possible problem source. What MS really needs to do is back port the IE6 SP2 fix so it can be installed, at the very least, on Win2k, and it should also be available for 98.
