new version microsoft antispyware beta 1.0.613, was launched on 23/6.
it appears that microsoft will offer it to only 'genuine' windows users.
the existing version scheduled to expire on 31/7 will now expire on 31/12.

This can be bypassed easily by going directly to download. I don't know for what purpose that validation is being implemented?

Navjot my friend, as you know, MS said it earlier is going to make validation a must for everyone to download anything from its Website.

You have a Genuine Windows Product key or not, thatz otherwise.

You see the continue download without validating page even though your XP be illegal. SO IT IS STILL NO COMPULSION TO HAVE ORIGINAL XP TO DOWNLOAD products from their page.

Well yes guys, we jus hope that this newer version of MS's Antispyware (Wich it says that its only for GENUINE MS WIN OSes) hope it gets downloaded even on a borrowed WIN OS, like mine :wink: and yes we INDIANS can come up with gr8 solutions like the SAnta and Banta Ones.... :D :lol: :D
but as rajas said:

Its legal and compulsory to hv a Genuine MS OS Product key coz the file(Antispyware)while downloading onto ur system,it will also check in thw Windows Directory fora genuine Product key...wich is really very Unfortunate..... :(:(

neways jus wait and see....hope for the best and I WISH THAT WE INDIANS,AGAIN BEAT MS in their own game......by using LEGAL s/wares on our very own PIRATED WINDOWS Oses versions..... :wink: :twisted: :wink:

cheers n e-peace.... guys.....

changing system dates can have other adverse repurcussions.
