Re: in defender: why is there no 'always allow' status

[craigcu]

Sorry, but I need to dredge up this old thread.

"Joepie", could you tell me what I am doing wrong I have the latest
v1.1.1593.0 and I still only get permit or deny options. I would like an
Always Allow option.

Pa Bear, I realize that "Microsoft has established separate newsgroups for
Windows Defender support and comments. This is not one of them."

However, this site you referred to below has not been working the last 2
days, and I have just reported the error separately to MS:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/newsgroups/default.mspx

Yes, accessing the Defender-specific newsgroups via the clunky web-interface
has been "broken" since early January. Nevertheless, you can still access
these Defender newsgroups using your default newsreader (e.g., Outlook
Express Windows Mail Windows Live Mail):

<QP>
Note: To view these newsgroups with Outlook Express or another NNTP
newsreader, you might be required to log on using the following information:

• Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
• Account name: privatenews\spyware
• Password: spyware (case-sensitive)

Ahhh, finalement.

Merci, M. Dyer.

I just got logged in and hopefully I'll find something useful.

Thank you again, Pa Bear.!
