I agree with you, however I downloaded the 180 search assistant, and it recommended that it be removed. Perhaps there is another varient 180solutions to which you speak of, since there is one version of Whenu which it recommends to be quarantined, while another version it recommends you Ignore.

What I find amazing in all of this is how Microsoft can get away with spitting in all of our faces, and then suffer no real loss from it. I really don't think this controversy has received enough attention.

The very reason that hijackers such as New.Net are set to 'ignore' is the very reason we call this progam a dubious form on anyti-spyware protection.

The image you have provided supports our case. To the untrained eye, who would know to set those options to 'Remove'?????
