Re: MS anti-spyware took a liberty !

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I just did, ...(never used button that before! ...you mean the one with the
magnifying glass on it?), and Google popped out in a left-hand pane.
....was it set to something else before ? as I said I've never used it
until then.
I usually never use beta software but, this one is widely reported as being
very well behaved, and I particularly liked the peer-to-peer like, or
"inter-communication" like, feature that does something along the lines of,
rapidly communicate and arm other users of the MS Anti-spyware program
against new threats. :-) ...I think I got that nearly right !
