Free Spyware Removal Tool - From Microsoft

I have been a staunch user of AdAware - the free anti spyware tool from Lavasoft, and I also use SpyBot Search and Destroy, and you could say that I am one of the most careful internet users online - I never install "free" programs on my main machine, because I know the will come bundled with a host of spyware and adware nasties.

However, despite my constant, cautious maintenance and scanning, the new Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) was able to detect 4 (four!) deeply integrated programs that neither AdAware nor SpyWare Search & Destroy detected.

That just infuriates me. I don't know how it got in, but there it was. So, all in all, a great tool to have in your Anti Spyware arsenal.

• Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta


• Ad-Aware


• SpyWare Search and Destroy

Happy Hunting!
