 Microsoft anti-spyware software
http://www.filemirrors.com/search.sr...e&size=6816904
Anyone tried this anti spyware product from Microsoft? (that wasn't a joke lol) it's actually pretty good, I scanned my system and didn't find anything  It alerts you if it finds any spyware with a popup notification, like msn.

I think it's pretty damn good. It's about as good as AdAware or Spybot but with a user interface thats actually easy to use (for the average home user that is)

I was using a program for anti spyware before this came out and when it did came out i decided to download it. The interface and options to remove spyware was 100% identical with the name changed. I forgot the other program now but i notified them that they could maybe sue.

you were probably using GIANT antispyware. essentially microsoft bought the company that makes it, redid the interface a little and released it as their own product.

I've used it in the past - it was alright, but it didnt find as many results and doesnt have as many options as the others.
e.g. Spybot is has registry fix tool also.
