Re: Microsoft Antispyware for SP1

Hi,

No major bugs in SP2 that I am aware of. For your test environments, you
might want to consider and alternative by using Virtual Machines. This way
the host is protected, but you can set up each VM as you please (including
using unsupported scenarios, outdated OS's, and not just Windows).

Why not? Soon enough, it will be required for any further security
updates.
Not having it is like ignoring a factory recall on a critical component of
your vehicle.

Hi Rick,

I keep a few different machines set up with different environments for
testing software. Main development machines must have SP2 for
compatibility with new Visual Studio versions, but I don't want to
convert all to SP2 yet.

In fact, I've had more problems with the SP2 machines since
converting, so given the choice, I would have preferred to stay with
SP1 (don't need the limited firewall in SP2, or the bugs).
