The OP is a couple of months late - the Tuesday referred to is Jan 24th (which is the date of that article). So this isn't a new development, it's just old news.

Of course you could just refuse to sign into these services or opt out of using gmail.

You can still use most of these services without having to link them to an email address/account.

If privacy is really such a worry - why not just do what people have been doing for years with email? Create "throw-away" email accounts to use with google/youtube etc - if you truly are paranoid, create a new account every 48 hours. It's a bit overkill, but your privacy concerns are safe when google is unable to associate them with any person that exists for more than a day or two.

Of course I don't have anything to hide regarding my activities online - and if google can locate even better prices for things that I am interested in, then great! The decision to purchase or delete still remains with me.

Google announces privacy changes across products; users can’t opt out

Google will soon know far more about who you are and what you do on the Web.

The Web giant announced Tuesday that it plans to follow the activities of users across nearly all of its ubiquitous sites, including YouTube, Gmail and its leading search engine.

GOTD is always completely clean, apart from some of the jokes on the forum, . . . or if WR hasn't washed behind his huge Wabbit ears lately LOL!

By way of the thread title Microsoft's definition of malware probably (as in does!) include the many various toolbars classed as adware, torrent P2P files, many keygens and such-like most of which is completely harmless! I would guess a HUGE proportion of MS's ratio link to false positives!

From researching free games, a supposedly notorious risk (ROFL!! :)) I doubt that 1 in 10000 downloads might carry any risk, and Google now seems not to list sites that have a known drive-by download risk. If you use AVG link scanner you can also almost entirely avoid any sites that link to malware. Some older games get false flagged as positives too. Comodo/AVG have sometimes listed Gamehouse downloader as malware simply because it accesses the Internet from your computer to download the Gamehouse game! And you can't get more innocuous and innocent than that!

It was riskier previously to search for free games downloads, but with modern firewalls and Windows updates, and good AV programs, any risk is very minimal, and there are many more good (safe!) sites out there these days.

PS has Beta anything to do with beta-carotene as found in carrots sniff sniff ?! Does this mean WR himself is still in Beta? !

That's because it's still in beta.

Hi Hotdog, I've re-worded your thread title slightly because it may have implied to some community members that giveaways from this site came under that category.

For those new to the giveaway project, the giveaway team carry out rigorous tests using several security programs to ensure that all giveaways are free from malware. You may occasionally see someone posting that they think a particular program is infected becasue their security software says it is. This has always turned out to be false positives.

He showed off his results here at the Black Hat conference,It allows an attacker to gain full control of the ATMs and not only order it to spit out money, but also to silently harvest card data from anyone who uses the machines.
