Microsoft anti-Spyware

2005-01-06 21:17:43.534907+01 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Microsoft has released some anti-spyware software. I won't be trying it until I get some good feedback from the world that it's not going to screw up my browsing experience, make my computer run really slowly, or pop-up reminders and questions all the time.

Microsoft recently bought Giant, previous makers of an anti-spyware product with the same icon. I suspect it is merely their product repackaged for Microsoft. I have mixed feelings about its reliability and efficacy.

I just installed it, Dan. So far, so good. I'll let you know in a few days if anything annoying happens.
