Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta

Windows Anti-Spyware (beta) is a security technology that helps protect Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted software. Known spyware on your PC can be detected and removed. This helps reduce negative effects caused by spyware, including slow PC performance, annoying pop-up ads, unwanted changes to Internet settings, and unauthorized use of your private information. Continuous protection improves Internet browsing safety by blocking more than 50 ways spyware can enter your PC.

The worldwide SpyNet community plays a key role in determining which suspicious programs are classified as spyware. Microsoft researchers quickly develop methods to counteract these threats, which are automatically downloaded to your PC, so you stay up-to-date.

Just a quick note to tell that the microsoft.com has added a licence verification to the download page.

This verification checks for the Genuine Windows installed at your system.

If you dont want to have this check, then kindly select

"I dont want to verify my windows, take me to download"

and you will be taken to the downloads page.

very informative post

some information from my side too

what is spyware?

spyware is the fastest growing online threat facing today's computer user.

There are many PC supervision tools that allow a user to monitor all kinds of activity on a computer like snapshots, email logging, chat logging and just about everything else. These tools are often designed for parents, businesses and similar environments, but can be easily abused if they are installed on your computer without your knowledge.

so Privacy experts recommend that every computer connected to the Internet should have anti-spyware software installed.
