Unauthorised Windows 10 Upgrade, claimant receives $10,000

Microsoft last month paid a California travel agent $10,000 after she won a judgment in small claims court by successfully arguing that an unauthorized upgrade to Windows 10 crippled her work PC. Teri Goldstein, the owner of Sausalito, Calif.-based TG Travel Group LLC, said that she had not...

That is not a case where a plaintiff attempted to recover damages sustained by a security software that failed to protect the system.

I am saying something very specific, and you are not paying attention.

No consumer/home user will ever get a penny out of Microsoft for Defender failing to protect a system. It is not possible. There is a huge legal and regulatory "carve out" that makes winning such cases impossible.

The case you are referring to resulted in a $10,000 judgment because a Philippines-based subcontract Microsoft representative made the legal mistake of offering the plaintiff, Terry Goldstein, $100 for her troubles. By doing so, that uninformed Microsoft representative unknowingly admitted culpability by making the $100 USD compensation offer. The plaintiff got lucky.

After that case, Microsoft change its agreements and there's no way any consumer is ever going to obtain a judgment for anything similar.

You can keep trying, but you obviously just do not know or understand how the law and the legal system works. You can keep citing this or that, what you believe to be true, but you're just wasting your time and worse, you are spreading misinformation to people. There are nuances to the law and you have to know and have experience within that system to understand the cases.

Again...

No consumer/home user will ever get a penny out of Microsoft for Defender failing to protect a system. It is not possible. There is a huge legal and regulatory "carve out" that makes winning such cases impossible. Not against Microsoft. Not against any other security software publisher.

The case you quoted has nothing to do with failing to protect a PC. You have to be very specific in legal matters.

Security Now PODCAST : Security Now! Transcript of Episode #566

"Steve:The Seattle Times, Matt Day wrote sort of the reference coverage of this. All the other articles ended up sort of referring back to Matt's. And he also quotes Mary Jo and Paul. So this is about Microsoft settling a lawsuit that a woman whose name is Teri Goldstein brought because Windows 10 was just such a problem for her. Matt wrote: "A few days after Microsoft released Windows 10 to the public last year, Teri Goldstein's computer started trying to download and install the new operating system. The update, which she says she did not authorize, failed. Instead, the computer she uses to run her Sausalito, California travel agency business slowed to a crawl. It would crash, she says, and be unusable for days at a time." He quotes her saying, "I had never heard of Windows 10. Nobody ever asked me if I wanted to update."
"When outreach to Microsoft's customer support didn't fix the issue" - and by the way, she, like, spent days on the phone, so this is not like she's complaining easily - "Goldstein took the software giant to court, seeking compensation for lost wages and the cost of a new computer. She won." Then Microsoft, of course, couldn't let that stand, immediately said that they were going to appeal. However, last month Microsoft dropped their appeal, and Goldstein collected a $10,000 judgment from the company.
And then Matt goes on, but later in the article he says: "Mary Jo Foley, a journalist who has closely followed Microsoft for decades, wrote recently that the company has made saying no to Windows 10, particularly for non-savvy people, quote, 'nearly impossible to implement.' Paul Thurrott, another longtime Microsoft follower, criticized a recent popup asking users if they were ready to get Windows 10. In the prompt, the X in the upper right corner, long known to Windows users as a way to exit a software program or abort a process, is interpreted by the update tool as an agreement to go ahead with Windows 10." He then quotes Paul saying, "The violation of trust here is almost indescribable."
So anyway, I think clearly what happened is Microsoft was concerned that they might lose on appeal, and that would have set just a horrific precedent for all of this Windows 10 upgrade fervor. And so they thought, you know, better not to set that precedent. We'll just, I mean, Microsoft said they didn't want to invest any further in this case. And it's like, come on. Microsoft doesn't even feel $10,000 or whatever their cost of litigation. If they thought they were going to win on appeal, that's what they would have done in order to foreclose anybody else thinking that this was a good idea. So I think they just thought, look, we can't afford to lose on appeal.

Leo: The good news is our long national nightmare is almost over because it ends July 29.

Steve: Yes. I was interviewed for an article in the San Jose Mercury News last week, and I have an interview scheduled with Consumer Reports tomorrow on the whole - on my involvement in this with Never10. The downloads have slowed from about 35,000 is where they peaked per day, down to 15. And we're at about 1.365 million downloads of Never10."

I dare to suggest a third option: Microsoft Defender + CyberLock (or Hard_Configuration from Andy, if you don't have money for paid software). Of course, uBlock and Osprey as extensions. :)

I think that's more than enough for the average user. :)

But if we're talking specifically about the two options, I'll choose the second one because it's simpler and more elegant. :)
