It seems to be really well integrated with Windows XP (go figure lol) SpyNet is a pretty nice tool as well. It picked up a few things which AdAware and Spybot S&D missed. Hats off to them for this one!

Replies Larmour Posted at 12:06 pm on April 19, 2006 I agree with mohza, stick to Spyware Doctor and Ad-Aware. They rock. Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1 was great, until they brought out Beta 2 and didn't distribute updates for the Beta 1 version anymore :( :@ why Posted at 7:53 pm on Aug. 16, 2005 Quote: from sriehl at 8:36 pm on Feb. 16, 2005 Microsoft once again bought software and put their logo on it and distributed it as their own.  It would be nice if they actually developed something on their own that is innovational. (Edited by sriehl at 8:07 pm on Feb. 17, 2005) If they were to have developed it, then it wouldnt have been as good. Born2die Posted at 3:54 am on Aug. 13, 2005 I have that, and about a million other anti-virus/ anti-spyware thingies, yet virus still get onto my PC. It's not fair. mohza Posted at 12:36 am on July 11, 2005 I'll stick to Ad-aware and Spydoctor, is it still in BETA? Flint1985 Posted at 8:51 am on June 14, 2005 I've got Microsoft Anti-Spyware installed on my PC, it seems pretty cool, but no spyware etc appears to be on my PC (which I'm suprised with) Squee77 Posted at 3:12 pm on June 8, 2005 microsoft anti spyware sucks... try using sunbelt and search & destroy they are better and good to delete i found alot of spywares on my comp more than microsoft program.... nicoleinthebox Posted at 7:37 pm on June 1, 2005 Quote: from GamerX at 11:07 pm on Feb. 14, 2005 Wow, I must say this is better than what I've come to expect from Microshaft.

It sucks. I had 5 signatures and it removed "cookie:www.1up.com" and "cookie:www.golivewire.com". Lol. redgecko5 Posted at 9:33 am on April 6, 2005 i heard of this anti spyware, i didnt take it because microsoft insists on infecting your machine with its own stuff first. JoJo Posted at 8:08 am on Feb. 27, 2005 <edit> screen shot is fake lol, nevermind [url]http://img95.exs.cx/img95/272/mozillaadware4vs.png[/url] (Edited by JoJo at 7:53 pm on Feb. 27, 2005) JoJo Posted at 6:06 pm on Feb. 16, 2005 might be worth using, along with spybot and ad-aware. i read somwhere that they might try an make you pay for the full version, once its released. not sure how true that is. If it is true it seems very convenient to release a browser as usefull as a chocolate fireguard then make you pay to remove the spyware it lets in. sriehl Posted at 5:36 pm on Feb. 16, 2005 Microsoft once again bought software and put their logo on it and distributed it as their own.  It would be nice if they actually developed something on their own that is innovational.
