    Windows Error Reporting – FAIL

    Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

    Windows Error Reporting is all well and good, and I’m sure there are many problems that it’s solved. However it managed a classic fail tonight that made me chuckle. Take this error report here:

    error_report

    “Update Spyware Doctor”. Fine. Sounds like a good idea.

    Such a good idea that…. it is in fact what I was trying to do when PC Tools “SmartUpdate” crashed, causing the error what I reported to Microsoft’s Error Reporting service, which recommended… can you spell “infinite loop”? ;-)

    Those nice people at VNUNet keep giving stuff commercial stuff away for nowt… for both commercial and non-commercial use.

    No such thing as a free lunch? Well, maybe. But the sandwiches are available at Download Junkie: WiseFTP, aShampoo WinOptimizer, Serif PagePlus 8, PC Tools Spyware Doctor and Antivirus, East-Tec Backup and V-Com Fix It.

    All very nice, should any of that be to your taste…
