blogs.zdnet.com — It seems that Microsoft has started flagging Gmail as a virus in their virus scanning software Windows Live OneCare. Many people are reporting that every time they open Gmail, a warning is displayed telling the user they are infected with "BAT/BWG.A".

Wouldn't this violate an antitrust law?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with correcting one's grammar or spelling, so long as it's done in a tactful way. Really.

of course it is - any company that doesn't agree with microsoft or play nicely with them is a virus. microsoft wants things their way and no other way. they can't accept anybody elses view point of the software - it is theirs and only theirs. this is how microsoft competes - fear of lawsuits and mark the competitors products as a virus and lock your suckers whoops "customers" in with DRM. this speaks volumes about their product when they have to go to great lengths to keep shoving their product down their "customers" throats.

Well netcat can be used as a hacking tool. Id be worried as hell if I found netcat or nmap on my dads computer. How ever if i found my dad using gmail, id be rather happy.
