Re: Vulnerability Assessment Requirements

If licensing changes we will remove it and install something else.
Hopefully by that time Symantec Corp will be better at Spyware detection and
removal.

A couple of people have already mentioned that they require MS
AntiSpyware. Really? Beta software? What happens if Microsoft changes
its licensing?

Don't get me wrong. I have it on lots of our PCs and I like it. I've
been thinking about making it a soft requirement--i.e.., check to see it
it's installed, if it's not then throw up the nag window and suggest
it...but let them continue if they wish without meeting the requirement.
