It's a link to a beta version of a anti-Spyware software that Microsoft has released. www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/default.mspx key Notes: Based on the spyware scanner made by Giant (Best of the best) It's FREE It's GOOD Even with: AVG 7.0 Adaware Spybot 1.3 (& Beta) CWShredder HijackThis Secure browsers (Firefox & Opera) My other plethora of defense mechanisms |

Been out a while, but i didn't know about it till i saw ur post!!! NOOBLAH!!! ;D
I run adaware SE & X-cleaner (great little free app btw)
I ran adaware, binned off loads of cr@p after smurfing my usual haunts, then installed & ran the ms beta -
116 bad files! 2 inactive browser hijacker, some stuff left over from my last deletion of kazaa (!) and some registry stuff. The bho's were inactive because i disabled script with (free) NoScript.exe from Norton.
All this stuff passed through my usual cleaners.
Conclusion: Great program! If you haven't done so already, get it installed - you might be surprised! ;D

Not too bad. I run SpySubtract Pro, and Ad-Aware, but it still found stuff.
Thx for the link.

I down loaded it and ran it and it found 1 threat. And now that threat is gone. Thanks Firedevil.

I just wish there was one program to get everything. Seems like you have to run them all to get everything. Here is another good one. ccleaner.com/ |

Lastnight I ran McAfee and SpyBot against my system. Then I ran MicroSoft spyware and found 7 adwares that the other two didn't find. And I have the most recent updates to both programs.....

Give it a day or 2 and try the opposite..run M$'s first then the other 2 and see how you do. I'm honestly curious...but I'm scared to download it and try myself.
