Microsoft now taking on ... browser hijacking

Good news.
Microsoft now taking on Man in the Middle ad injection and browser hijacking
  by Richard Hay

Some of those sessions required that I remote connect to the customers desktop in order to help begin clearing things up but these adware/ad injection infections would not even allow the user to browse to the right website to download a small remote connection tool. Instead, the infection would redirect them to a screen that looked a lot like the destination I was sending them to but in reality it was not.

Please read the full story above.

Richard Hay sure likes writing long sentences, and I guess his religion frowns on punctuation.

I once worked helpdesk tech support for a security software company and my main job was to assist customers in dealing with malware/adware infections on their systems.

Now, perhaps I'm a bit out of the loop- but if his main job was dealing with malware and adware infections, what exactly was the security software for?
