I just wonder if we can build new prisons fast enough for all the &quot;lone wolves&quot; who are being snooped upon and made to disappear without habeas corpus by NSA with secret help from AT&amp;T and Microsoft.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Warm feeling, wet reality, no one notices that it is more efficient to just run a secure OS in the first place, like a BSD or a GNU/Linux distro.310 choices at http://livecdlist.com that run concurrently, multi-processing, multi-tasking, up to 4,000 open windows, on 20 desktops, and on multiple monitors, without crashing the system!The alternative is the Multi-convicted Felon Microsoft that folks keep going back to, for the warm feeling.  Like wetting your pants at the conference table.  No one notices your wet reality.Ignore the obvious, or check out: http://pclinuxos.com http://livecdlist.com http://distrowatch.com]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Windows Defender will be offered as part of Microsoft's &quot;OneCare&quot; which you can download and try for free.  I'd advise anyone to go to the Microsoft OneCare's Forum and read the replies before installing it.  Seems it's a lot easier to install than uninstall and it seems as though it's in it's beta stage. Defender has not gotten very high reviews that I've read but I'm not here to bash Microsoft as they are always looking for new ways to get their hands into your pocket. This is one of them, buyer beware $ 49 / yr]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have used it on windows xp, and hated it.  I prefer spyware terminator, now that's a good anti-spyware program and you can even use clam av software on it for viruses too.  Windows defender didn't detect as many spyware programs, and every once in while my computer became sluggish and unusable. It was the windows defender doing it.  No thank you, I'll stick with other guy. And as far as having it integrated into Vista, that worries me more.  It sounds like a hackers paradise to crack it and control the system. That's why you always have have to 2 or more anti-spyware programs, in case one doesn't detect the spybot, or spyware.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Have you used Defender, either with WinXP or Vista? Do you think it's an effective solution, used by itself? How about in conjunction with another anti-spyware application?]]></description>
