Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta

Well if you hadn't heard Microsoft bought a company called Giant that did antispyware. Now in just under a month they've remarketed the product as Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware in a publicly released beta.

Usually I don't recommend installed beta software on your production machine but I gotta say run don't walk and install this one. It caught several things that other free spyware utilities missed on my system. Personally I think it will save Microsoft big $$$'s on support to cut down on the glut of spyware so they will do there best to make this product work great. They've already done a nice job and no doubt much of that hooplah goes to the old Giant company.

Try it out and see how it helps your computer. I'll continue to monitor it myself.
