You should see the problem I had with mbsa, I finally gave up on it as not
intended for XP Home. There is a special MS usenet group called
microsoft.public.security.baseline_analyzer, I posted my problem there and
nobody answered it for a week, then I got a ridiculous answer about how I
need to reduce the network lag-time between my system and the system being
scanned, duh, the system being scanned is the same system that is running
the tool --- my standalone XPHome system!! And these guys put on their
responses fancy acronyms like MVP MSFT, blah blah ...
But if you want to post your question there and wait a week for a response
the URL for the MS nntp server is Msnews.microsoft.com
IMHO mbsa either isn't ready for prime time, or was never intended for xp
home.
