Microsoft May Charge to Remove Spyware

Filed under: News — Charlie Summers @ 6:52 pm

From Digital Connect News: Microsoft may charge customers to rid themselves of spyware following the company�s acquisition of New York-based Giant Company Software.

“Like a drug dealer, where the first fix is free, Microsoft may seed its market by offering the spyware solution free, but reserve the option to charge for future versions.” Good deal…engineer security holes into your operating system, then charge to patch them.

Its normal. They do not leave security hole on purpose. They are constantly under attack by various hackers, thats why it looks like there are lots of security holes. Other products are not so popular and not intersting to hack.
