Thanks Eric. I tried also today if MSAS will detect 180Solution's software will be flagged as ignore using the current defs. The Windows AntiSpyware suggested to "quarantine"

Donna:

One minor correction: in a comment to Suzi's blog Richard Stiennon of Webroot claimed that in testing he performed in May 180's software showed up as "Ignore." I have been unable to reproduce this result in my own testing, and none of my screenshots show 180's software being presented to the user with a "Recommended Action" of "Ignore."

The software that I have been able to confirm with a RA of "Ignore" are:

* most Claria products
* most WhenU products (w/ the exception of WhenUSearch)
* Webhancer
* New.net
* eZula TopText (but not other eZula products)

Best,

Eric L. Howes
