To Microsoft's credit i must say...the new Anti-spyware is FANTASTIC!

I haven't yet been let down by it, within seconds i am scanning and finding viruses (when i have them )

They support many features of their own OS like Internet Explorer, this means you can restore your browsers settings, so them annoying 3rd party toolbars can be removed with EASE!

It is only in Beta and only a trial at MS so far BUT go for it and see what you make of the whole thing!

i tried using anti-spyware when it was first in BETA, but it wasnt much special then - has it improved since the initial BETA?

Not really, I haven't really noticed any big improvements since it has came out!

i think it is just that Microsoft is trying to get into as many computer industries as it can, and therefore theyre not able to control as much resources it can on a project as it could if it were only working on fewer projects, therefore not having any major breakthroughs to set themselves out from all the other spyware programs.

Heh, I think you're right!

pretty much everything IT, microsoft has something to do with, (web browser, mail aswell), so theyre really not creating much HUGE that they could if they used thier resources better - thats my argument

I think it would be real nice if Microsoft would work on a worldwide broadcasting system.
They have made the first step making XP Madiacenter but it needs to be worked out.

[Linoman]

Yea thats true. I use Microsoft Anti Spyware on my Celeron PC and it really works fantasticly. Although it does tend to slow down ones pc

i suppose once they tighten up the code this problem might not exist, but that might take a while
