Microsoft Adjusts AntiSpyware Under Legal Threats

Tomorrow Microsoft would have had to defend itself in court against allegations over its AntiSpyware program. However, there will not be a lawsuit since Microsoft has decided to adjust its AntiSpyware program and display a message on its Dutch and Belgian sites for four weeks, noting that it has made a mistake by classifying Startpagina.nl as a browser hijacker. Apparently Microsoft has also made its appologies to Startpagina.nl, the biggest Dutch competitor of MSN.
