Microsoft released a beta version of their anti-spyware tool called Anti-Spyware. I installed the software this morning and it found four spyware/adware files on my computer. This is great news since I had just run Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy.
It’s great to see Microsoft taking this threat seriously since the casual users computer is chock full of spyware and adware crap. If Microsoft can build on this product I see no need to purchase a competing product.
