Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) Home
Appearently, this was just released Friday.
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) Home
I have installed this on both of my machines at home (I have a laptop that I take on the road, and a poor beat-up old desktop that keeps on chugging along), and I'm very pleased with the result. This free software from Microsoft found spyware that other scanners had missed. Further, I had previously installed a remote control software (VNC) on my old desktop, and the scanner correctly identified it (the VNC software could be used maliciously, but MS AntiSpyware suggested that it could have been installed for administrative uses as well, which was true in my case).
It's still a beta, and it crashed on my laptop after it finished scanning and cleaning, but it restarted fine and seems to be functioning well. See if you can spot the grammatical error on the "scanning" page. (Highlight from here Look for the word "then" improperly used instead of the word "than" on the right hand side of the page. This seems to be a common mid-western grammer usage error. to here to find the answer.)
Overall I highly recommend that anyone using Microsoft Windows download and install this program. Even if you already have a Spyware scanner, this free program is a good way to evaluate how well your current scanner is doing.
