-- Posted by 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 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! -- Posted by GamerX at 11:07 pm on Feb. 14, 2005 O and don't be using IE ;) always helps! -- Posted by Kelm at 2:15 am on Feb. 15, 2005 They bought out GIANT and basically rebranded it... I'm a Microsoft Fan Boy but I'm telling you like it is. Like if you do CRL+ALT+DEL then you will notice GIANTAntiSpyware.exe or something like that in Beta 1 because its just rebranded but yes in the future they will make their own features/changes/etc. -- Posted by sriehl 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.

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. -- Posted by JoJo at 8:08 am on Feb. 27, 2005 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) -- Posted by redgecko5 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. -- Posted by nicoleinthebox 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. -- Posted by Squee77 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.... -- Posted by Flint1985 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) -- Posted by mohza at 12:36 am on July 11, 2005 I'll stick to Ad-aware and Spydoctor, is it still in BETA? -- Posted by Born2die 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. -- Posted by why 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. -- Posted by Larmour 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 :( :@
