1. Comment - Microsoft Takes On Spyware with Beta

   (Jan 6, 2005 - 5:52 PM)

   I installed it on my company laptop and all my home machines.
   
   My 13 year old daughters machine was infected with 'shopping' software that replaced winsock, redirected browsers and even caused DNS issues. I scrubbed it multiple times with AdAware, Spybot and Symantec Corp 9.x.
   
   It was in working order, but the MS anti-spyware software detected additional registry settings, a batch file that was used to cleanup a spyware install as well as a previously undetected adware/spyware package.
   
   I'm impressed, even though the undetected adware may have been installed since I cleaned the machine earlier this week.
   
   BTW - I'm a systems engineer by training and an MCSE as well as Solaris certified engineer, so I think I'm being objective and its pretty hard to impress me at this point...
