I've used the beta version of MS Anti-spyware and it's quite useful. It helped get rid of about 6/7 spywares today alone. The good part is, it's free. I noticed that not many people out there use it - very unpopular even though it is dead useful. How many of you even heard about it? Is there anything wrong with the anti-spyware that I should know?

If you use a combination of smart browsing, spybot and hijackthis, there really isnt a use for the MS-anti-spyware.

Its free, but its removal of spyware is regular, nothing special about it.

Yes, I've heard that Microsoft Spyware is quite good. Will certainly download it soon.

There are other products out there which are more robust, and which are updated more frequently, and have the added bonus of not being microsoft software.

I find that adaware gets about 300+ on my siblings' computer.
