HEY GUYS,

recall what they taught us in computer security 201.

LAYERED SECURITY is the best… meaning that you need several different programs to keep your security at it;s highest level.

I run ms spyware and spybot and also have norton firewall up and running at all times,

All the best

Jim

How disappointing. MS should come out with free programs to patch up their system from spywares. But instead, soon we have to pay for it.

hi Liew

i have also tried the earlier version of MS Anti Spyware but was not impressed

i am currently running Spybot, AdAware, BPS, SpywareBlaster, Spy Sweeper and Spyware Doctor and still find spies and the like every week.
i also have Zone Alarm and Avast and AVG Anti Virus installed.

I tried MS antispyware and don’t believe its as good as Ad-Aware. I ran the MS and then the Ad-Aware and Ad-Aware found what MS missed. I reversed the scans also, Ad-Aware first then MS. Ms came up blank after Ad-Aware. Think I’ll stick with the free Ad-Aware.

I still prefer ad-aware professional. I have tried MS Antispyware and it is not really efficient enough. ad-aware always does a good job by removing every spyware, even those which are created by microsoft itself inside a cookie. MS Antispyware doesn’t remove cookie that are created my Microsoft to collect details of customers visiting their website.

I think it’s unfair to call it MS Anti Spyware, and give credit to M$, since all they did was buy Giant Antispyware and slap a name on it
