Microsoft Anti-Spyware

Microsoft have (finally) released their own anti-spyware software, which is freely available from their site. Here's the overview:
quote:
Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) is a security technology that helps protect Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted software. Known spyware on your PC can be detected and removed. This helps reduce negative effects caused by spyware including slow PC performance, annoying pop-up ads, unwanted changes to Internet settings, and unauthorized use of your private information. Continuous protection improves Internet browsing safety by guarding over 50 ways spyware can enter your PC.

The worldwide SpyNet™ community plays a key role in determining which suspicious programs are classified as spyware. Microsoft researchers quickly develop methods to counteract these threats, which are automatically downloaded to your PC, so you stay up-to-date.
Download here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...;DisplayLang=en

I would highly recommend you check your system with this, as this program seems to be more accurate than others, and will be regularly updated.

When downloading, click: No, do not validate Windows at this time, but take me to the download. It should work fine without the validating.

Haha laughing out loud

You know they say "Microsoft Works" is an oxymoron...

I dunno if I'll check out MS's anti-spyware program, I'm happy with what I've got already.

It wasn't actually created by Microsoft, but a company they bought out recenty. They just relabeled it "Microsoft Spyware".

And from what I've read, it finds more spyware than Spybot and Ad-aware combined.

Really? Well, Spybot always froze up on me, but Ad-aware works fine...

Hell, maybe I'll give it a look.

Microsoft Anti-Spyware is pretty decent. No complaints so far.
