Strike 3...MSAS is out for me....I had only been using it as a testing tool, and was not convinced of it's efficacy, due to many FPs, and due to it's annoying pop up windows on startup, which never seemed to remember my choices for Allow or Block.

Those are minor compared to this OUTRAGE! Hopefully the wiser heads will prevail in the internal arguments which seem to be going on at M$.

Thanks for the info, Dave. I had recently heard MS was looking to buy an adware company....but Gator? Jeez!
