I don't think you can uninstall it cuz it is now built into the OS but you can disable it by going into system services and disable it.

Other good free anti-spyware, AVG version 8.0 has both Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware, so you can kill 2 birds with one stone, although i still prefer Sbybot for a full system clense. Spybot is very fast and very good in my opinion. Highly recommend it

Stopped services and disabled!

Still love to see what others here use. I have tried Giant Anti.... but is very limited. I want full version, so After gettin what I want I will remove it! AVG? No! Because I want Avast to remain as my Virus scanner!

Thanks Guys, waiting for more Advices

Have they changed their website address, cause i swear it used to be free.grisoft.com ?

But AVG 8.0 is the best free anti-virus and anti-spyware package.
