...I don't rely on Microsoft for anything in the way of real security
Me too. Nothing I have phones home either (M$ or not) except the anti-virus. Everything else I get prompted if anything tries by ZA. I've noticed even WMP occasionally phones home - well tries.
Ad-Watch even stops attempts to change my home page to a microsoft one every few months. So *^&*&*%&%$ annoying that one is.
Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there. Board guides are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an inappropriate or illegal post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com. It is not part of my role to deal with reportable posts. Any views are mine and are not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.
Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.
