What drgrudge explained is very clear.
The members can post their site or blog as source provide they post the full article here in this forum.
That means you can't post first few lines of a news and then a source link which goes to your site.
That is a good idea as people can read teh full news without going to some other blog or personal site.
Thank you for clarifying it.

Ok i think here is what drgrudge says..
Post FULL ARTICLE...with link to the original site where yöü took...AND THEN yöü can post link to your site..
Please if possible change it in the "announcement" thread about rules...
Coz i dont think many will see this thread for this rule.
Again thanks for swift action and clearing our doubt doc..

well acc to what ur laws say i dont know but from what i personally feel is that posting the crux of the article and linking is the best way to post an article coz then 1 can get the basic info and if wants more info can follow the link ... however its u guys who run the place its ur rules

@iMav
You are confused
What drgrudge says is - two options
1. If you want to link the news to your site or your blog instaed of original article (to get more traffic and visitors to your site / blog), you have to post the entire news and then source link as your site/blog. So that people are not forced to visit your blog/site to get full information.
2. You can also post the news in short, like only the important part of news and rest and source as original site / link and not your site. So for reading the rest of the news people will be going to the original site and not any personal site.
Clear ?
Basically, this is to discourage member's tricky idea to get traffic to their own forums /blogs / personal sites which will have lot of ads and stuff. And this will also help the thinkdigit forum to be clean.
In short,for example, if you get some news from Microsoft site and want to post it here, post part of the news here and give link to MS site. Or post the full news here and give source link to your personal site. Got it ?

Imav hope yöü get the point..its not about the news..its about the junk threads being opened to get traffic to thier sites ..quality of the news being postied and ability of newbie to seperate a good one from junk will become more difficult.i hope they change the rules so that a minimum no of post is needed to start a thread in particular section except q&a,mobile ,games,etc...this way even bots can be stopped effectively...
And also thread can be modified so that users can vote to the thread and also to the replies within a thread..this way many threads will automatically get cleaned...just like digg...
P.s i feel digg way of function should be inherited,..
This is my opining..
As yöü said..they run the show..its thier call in the end

first, i think i was one of the 1st to post this news on the net after i saw the results.
you can always visit the vb100 site and search for the results. i took time to register there, (YOU have to register to see the results) saw the results, collated them and posted them at my site.
had i not posted the results/conclusions here too, but instead just posted the link to my site, it would have been objectionable ! i CANNOT post the whole report here. you HAVE to register at virusbtn to see the summary only !!! and if you want the whole report you have to get it by post ! and one cant post the report elsewhere...only the summary !
as far as i can see, if a site-owner has taken trouble to collect/collate information at his site and then posted it here, pointing it to his site, he is entitled to post the link ! would you have objected to it if i had posted the link to some western site
dont think so ! it so happens wvc reported it first and it happens to be mine !
and please ! i am already being burdened by increasing bandwidth costs ... dont think id want to pull traffic by just posting links just for the heck of it since i consider digit as my home-forum, after posting at wvc i usually post here too.
so i think the subtle warning by drgrudge to me does not stand !
nevertheless, if the mods wish to delete/lock my threads anytime they are most welcome to do so ! after all, this IS a private forum; and pls, let the debate end here; it will, from my side.

What's wrong in posting the full article? Even if your site is the news source or first to break the news. Many will visit your site seeing how good you write or useful things you post about. Atleast I will.
Increase in BW cost or the time you took to register there shall not be a valid reason why you're doing like this. Does a flight wait for you just because you were held up in traffic? Think of this forum. Most of the technology news is either OS wars or self promotions.
Let this pass off. End of the issue. Next time around, you post full article or don't post.
Back to the topic!

Read both the quoted post below once / twice and then decide.
@anandk
You are a senior member here and I read most of the topics you post. One thing I noticed is, you post majority in the tech news section and that is really appreciated, very nice work indeed. Do not want to offend you, but most (not all but many) article you post has source link as your site. If you are worried on your site bandwidth issue, why taking trouble posting the link/source as your site ? That will make more burden on you isn't it ?

By the way, lets come back to ontopic 
How many of us know what Forfront actually is ??
*www.microsoft.com/forefront/default.mspx
its not a Desktop product with end user access support... also its not a single product
Forefront uses many AVS scanning engines under server enviroment, like ur mail server or under Network scanner...
and even though KIS / Symantec / Trend Micro all failed, but actually ForeFront is made up with all those failed individual products...
The idea of Linux command line scanning has now a place in Microsoft too... Fore Front addresses the issue of using multiple AVS scanner with their own updates and updating engines under one single OS platform...
has an issue of High memory requirements though as it will use may be up to 8 AVSes at times
