i don't see a specifc group (pages are also very slow).
and dl new groups from the ms public nntp server shows no group names containing the
series of letters: "spy"

do you know whether antispyware posts are supposed to go to the .security. groups?

For the best Microsoft Newsgroup experience:

Setting up Outlook Express Newsreader
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/ou...snewreader.htm

Viewing the AntiSpyware newsgroups through Outlook Express:

[1] Launch Outlook Express
[2] Select Tools - Accounts
[3] Select Add & click News
[4[ Enter Your Name
[5] Enter an alias (you may want to consider avoiding posting with your real e-mail alias,
as these newsgroups are exposed publicly through the web interface.
[6] Internet News Server Name Page - enter: privatenews.microsoft.com and check
"My news server requires me to log on". Click "Next".
[7] Enter Account name: privatenews\spyware
[8] Enter password (case-sensitive): spyware
[9] Click Next & Finish
[10] Close and download the newsgroups.

That URL doesn't work - server returns "File not found"

actually (in ie6 xp sp2)

Server privatenews.microsoft.com
Checkbox "This [news] server requires me to log on"

Username privatenews\spyware
Password (case-sensitive) spyware


but easy to work out. thanks.

btw, though the http is terribly slow, multiple access, http, nntp, etc is always good as
'backup' access.
