New Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta

[deganawida]

Hey, I just gave this thing a try. It's pretty good! It got some spyware (mostly IncrediMail type stuff from before I used this PC) that Ad-aware SE couldn't nab. Anyone else give it a shot yet, or going to try?

Let me guess: It only works with IE?

and a valid version of Windows .. "

The valid version of Windows is correct; as for IE, I don't know. I dl'ed using Firefox, and never use IE (I know it's impossible to get rid of, but I've done as much as I can). It also won't work on anything less than 2000.

Hmmm, what exactly do you define as a "valid" version of Windows... " ? I have a "valid" key (ie: I could install windows with it), if that's what you mean.

Might be worth a shot.

No, I don't think so, but there is one feature that protects your browsers settings that might just work with IE, wasn't paying attention

Spybot works just fine for me.

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I'm wondering if I should start using this instead of the Ad-Aware/Spybot combo I've got at the moment. Whats the word on MS Antispyware now its been out for a few months?

I've been using it since I read the earlier posts. It seems to work okay, most of the time. I still use my old spyware (Adware filter) after using the MS just to be sure.
