#Sophos #IE8 #AddOn prevents IE8 from loading

Geschreven op door

Yes, Sophos suddenly seems to feature a Web Content Scanner AddOn for IE8. I was convinced Sophos did a file-only check (if web content contains a virus, it will eventually try to create a file on your file system) but somehow they changed their strategy… It’s funny how people and organisations are in fact all alike in their efforts to distinguish themselves…
And, of course, more functionality requires more testing…

Special Beta Edition — Correction

Because you signed up to test the Windows 7 Beta, we recently sent you mail about the expiration dates for the Beta and Release Candidate. Unfortunately, we made a mistake.

We said the Beta would start shutting down every two hours on June 1, 2009. The correct date is July 1, 2009.

The rest of the dates in the mail were correct. Here’s a quick summary:

Version: Starts shutting down every two hours: Expires:
Beta July 1, 2009 August 1, 2009
Release Candidate March 1, 2010 June 1, 2010

We apologize for the error and any confusion it may have caused.

Thanks again for helping us test Windows 7.
