Looking for opinions from ppl who have actually tested both.. I know many think MS sucks in general, but let's hear some objective opinions regarding this particular product. thanks. |

 | I really doubt anyone that hates MS will give this product a serious look. I downloaded it, ran it, and it found two items that spysweeper didn't. I ran spysweeper just prior to running the MS product. Take that for what it is worth. I will use it at this point. Even though it is a beta, it seems to run very smoothly and quickly. Hope this helps you decide!! |

I think the Giant version did very very (surprisingly) well in Eric Howes' and others' tests. Although it throws a lot of false positives. You can search the security forum here for "Giant AntiSpyware".
Many people who tried it have stopped using it.
