Re: Nice Product

Here is the list of antispyware that I ran before installing Microsoft antispyware:

SpySweeper 3.5 (latest version)
SpywareBlaster
Ad-Aware SE personal
Spybot S&D
McAfee antispyware

I also have Norton AV 2003 with all current updates & the latest Zone Alarm Pro 5.5 with privacy settings set to block mobile code, cookies, etc.

I ran a scan with Microsoft antispyware (Giant AS) and it came up with three severe security threats. One adware and two spyware. One I think was found possibly in the McAfee AS quarantine directory, one was associated with the browser. The other one was just sitting in the Windows system directory.

I run scans every day with all the other AS programs mentioned and yet this MS antispyware program picked up THREE severe threats. All that "other" spyware protection with TWO of them blocking on the fly in real time and I still had three severe threats found by the Microsoft antispyware.

My suggestion is that everyone who has any sanity regarding security to download this completely free Microsoft ( Giant formerly) product ASAP and run a scan !
