Microsoft anti spyware

Oh- it is a neat little application.

Missing a few "bells and whistles" that it's cousins apparently have, but nevertheless it is a great supplement to any software-based firewall/antivirus suite.

Guys ? I'd call it a neat, "must have" program . I know for a fact it kicks Spybot's ass !

That link will give you a brief synapse of the study conducted with the additional links on that page providing side-by-side comparisons against similiar products. Microsoft's "Windows AntiSpyware" was also tested, however because of it being a "beta", those results were posted in a seperate, yet related article, here:

Thats interesting Izagaia, was surprised about spysweeper tho . I'm still looking for a counterspy crack . But for 20.oo bucks It might be the first program I buy!

I do like this point about MS antispyware tho:

Unlike CounterSpy, AntiSpyware automatically ignores cookies as it scans--a refreshing change for those users who appreciate the automatic log-ins and site personalization features that cookies can provide.
