Seriously: you should worry about the waste of "phantom energy" consumers ONLY AFTER you've taken care of the bigger stuff: replace old fridge, program thermostat, install double-paned windows and insulation, install CFL or LED lighting, and get in the habit of turning off computers (or letting them go to sleep).

They bought GIANT Company Software, whose GIANT AntiSpyware scanner became Microsoft Windows Defender. At some point as a Defender user, I remember being…

@Posco Grubb: It's totally ironic that those of us who refrained from using Facebook Connect due to privacy issues are the ones who got hammered by the break-in.
