Today Microsoft is releasing a beta version of its Windows AntiSpyware application that will help clean up PCs collecting viruses and spyware.
The new edition to the Microsoft product family, which is available for download, was built using the technology they gained through the December purchase of Giant Software.
ZDNet.com states
"The product is designed to help protect users of Windows products from spyware--software that's secretly installed on people's computers for a variety of purposes, such as bombarding them with pop-ups and tracking their Internet usage. The company claims the anti-spyware tools will help people keep their computers running faster and with fewer Web-related glitches."
I'm glad to see that Microsoft is getting in on the whole spyware issue, now if Bill would only consider tabbed browsing for IE.
