  1. Comment - Microsoft P2P Not All Fun and Games Yet

    (Mar 1, 2003 - 6:29 PM)

    The issue with "Winsock Filters" included with many popular applications, including specifically McAfee VirusScan 7.01.6000 (among others) interfering with the P2P/IPV6 update and Three Degrees, was discovered by me, and brought to the attention of the "Three Degrees" folks.

    They didnt "narrow down" anything, except multiple posts and bug report forms that i directed at them.

    Giving them credit for doing nothing other than confirming my specific findings, is a bit silly.

    Notice the "Three Degrees" "koding kid" asking me how i "isolated" the problem to McAfee VS, etc etc.

    Please adjust this article to reflect the actual reality of the ocurrence of events - specifically, that i, Hofbrau, discovered the particular issue with programs using "winsock filters", and informed them ("NetGen") of it.

    Its called "accuracy in journalism", what little "journalism" there may be in such a medium.

    Giving credit to the improper party is beyond acceptable.
