Page 1 of Microsoft release Anti Spyware Beta - free download

Here.

Nice program actually...offers real time protection, something the free ones don`t....

Just running the deep scan now, after running both AdAware and Spybot S&D - will report back if it finds owt :)

Didn`t find anything (mind you, I only bought the PC last week) but am impressed by the auto update facility.

It`s a program from Giant if that means anything to anyone.

Well worth a try out :)

It`s not likely to report Microsofts own registry spyware within XP is it?

Crashed both times I tried to run it.

Neither does Spybot or Ad-Aware. (Not counting Alexa)

It is working fine for me. A bit convoluted at first. Found other stuff (high alert) that Adware, Spybot and Spywareguard didn`t. Said Kazaa Lite was "high risk" with spyware. It must have read it as Kazaa. it also wanted to delete everything in my Cool Sites "Favourites" folder for some odd reason (any ideas?).You kind of have to know what you are doing.
Going to give it a whirl for a month or so though.
Impressed with its finding high risk spyware that all the others didn`t.

just downloaded and ran a deep scan, very impressed, got rid of alot.

The verification of windows is a bit of ballbag. Now hugely keen on that. Or Active X components. Or having to go ferret out my activation key..........

I didn`t bother with all that and downloaded easily enough.
On reflection, it does seem to slow down IE6 a bit.
It also has five entries needed in Sygate firewall!

Yeah, thats what i did in the end too.

Pretty nice program all in all. Real time takes up a bit more memory than i would have liked though.

Pah - I don`t worry as I`m running AMD 64`s Cool n Quiet on my system - works too - rarely using 100% of my processor (usually running at 50%) plus uses a reduced voltage and yet still runs at a stable temp of 28.8 degrees :D

Clever things these computer thingies...
