Microsoft Anti Spyware " BETA Verson"

Microsoft AntiSpyware

[DaveSW]

have you tested it yet or is it just the usual Microsoft Hype...

[Comatose]

I'm using it....

but in my personal and humble opinion, it sucks really bad. It has a huge library of signatures, but it's been my experience that's it's live shield really is no good. I also found that while it's trying to remove a lot of BHO's and other crudware, it allows others to install. Almost like their OS... it gives the appearance of multi-tasking :)

[DaveSW]

Yeah it seems to be based on Giant AntiSpyware's Solution. Still, I will admit it has detected things that Adaware and Spybot didn't. Actually, let me rephrase that: it detected things that adaware and spybot didn't detect before I installed Microsoft's solution!!

[Comatose]

Yeah,

I Knew MS bought GIANT's program and slapped a label on it. I was hoping they would have done a better job of protecting the system while they are cleaning it.... but that's why I built my own personal protector to work in junction with MS's. *shrug*

Maybe you could sell them you protector .if i could create one that improved there I surly would try to sell it !:)

[Comatose]

No No, It's not like a plugin or anything. It's just a seperate EXE that I built that protects my process list while MS's program is running to clean malware. Besides, I'm way to open source for all that. lol.

[crunchie]

Too many false positives for my liking.

[Comatose]

False Positives?

[crunchie]

Identifying legitimate apps etc. It picked up my paid version of Flashget as adware. There were a couple of others that I cannot recall, it was a few months ago when it was with Giant.

[Comatose]

Ah, False Positives :)

Is there anyone who has a crack for microsoft antispyware?
thanks

[Comatose]

I'm just curious...... did you actually READ the forum rules?

[DaveSW]

Excuse my ignorance but why would you need a crack for a free download? :confused:
Or has it been released?

[caperjack]
