I found this yesterday and tried it out. It seems very user friendly and quite effective.

I just downloaded it and it did find 1 spyware. I run 3 other spyware programs. It took a while to register and it would not work with Mozilla. Requires IE to verify software and download. Lets see what MS wants to charge for it next year :)

Jerry, are you saying it found one that AdAware did not catch?

Yep It found "1" sypware. Adaware, Spybot and AOL spy search didn't find it.

This, infact, used to be distributed and engineered by a company named GIANT, and I've had their spyware software for months now... In fact, I was JUST about to purchase a new license for my new computer, and discovered that Microsoft bought the rights and released it as their own...

So I thought to myself, if MS carries a program that they didn't program, it must be a hell of a program. Hence, the beta form. Once they work out the bugs and kinks, I'm sure v1.0 will be one of the best anti-spyware software packages ever.
