| 320388 | 2005-02-01 19:00:00 | They are useless at detecting adware and spyware (but they don't target that anyhow),at best they may pick up a browser hijack, On a 1-to-10 scale of having your back side covered, I would say your about to get Rogered. Have u tried trojan remover? if not u cant comment. And youre wrong it does know what spyware/adware is. It does a better job than most, since it scans a hdd and the registry. Most things dont. And no, youre wrong. I havent been hacked into. |

| 320390 | 2005-02-01 19:52:00 | ...they may pick up a browser hijack... M$ Antispy is a browser hijacker. Notice how it "complains" that MSN is not your default homepage & offers to "fix" this for you? Apart from that, considering they just bought the already-good Giant Antispyware & slapped their name on it, it's not too bad. It does complain about VNC being spyware, though, which can be a pain to be constantly reminded of it if you installed it yourself |

| 320392 | 2005-02-01 20:37:00 | Installed it about 3 weeks ago and it has found one spyware threat. However as I run spybot and ad aware also, I dont think the MS one is really necessary as well. I just wonder what will happen when this version expires on 31 July. Will we have to pay MS to use it after that? Smithie |

Right,Other programs that actually target spyware and adware don't bother to scan the registry or the hdd....they must be scanning thin air then..... |
