Microsoft has hit the Spyware Market creating their very own AntiSpyware tool. I have talked to many people about this program and they have all said that this just walks all over any other AntiSpyware utility! Worth a look!

Still only in BETA stages but is still worth the download.

Just make sure you have paid for all you MS software before installing I suspect MS have alternative motives behind this release as if they would help people for FREE.

I've been using a cracked corporate edition of XP to download ms antispyware for months now, with no problems. As of next month though, all MS downloads will require compulsory XP validation, whereas now you can choose to skip that step.

Well, Microsoft designed their loop-holes and security flaws...i would imagine they could use that to their advantage for anti-spyware quite well :P

I've been using the beta version for 4 or 5 months now. It detects more spyware than Spybot and Adaware. It also blocks spyware from being installed in the first place. It's pretty good I'd recommend it ;)
