Wow, I must say this is better than what I've come to expect from Microshaft. It seems to be really well integrated with Windows XP (go figure lol) SpyNet is a pretty nice tool as well.
It picked up a few things which AdAware and Spybot S&D missed.
Hats off to them for this one!

They bought out GIANT and basically rebranded it... I'm a Microsoft Fan Boy but I'm telling you like it is.

Like if you do CRL+ALT+DEL then you will notice GIANTAntiSpyware.exe or something like that in Beta 1 because its just rebranded but yes in the future they will make their own features/changes/etc.

Microsoft once again bought software and put their logo on it and distributed it as their own.  It would be nice if they actually developed something on their own that is innovational.

might be worth using, along with spybot and ad-aware.

i read somwhere that they might try an make you pay for the full version, once its released. not sure how true that is. If it is true it seems very convenient to release a browser as usefull as a chocolate fireguard then make you pay to remove the spyware it lets in.

i heard of this anti spyware, i didnt take it because microsoft insists on infecting your machine with its own stuff first.

It sucks. I had 5 signatures and it removed "cookie:www.1up.com" and "cookie:www.golivewire.com".

Lol.

I've got Microsoft Anti-Spyware installed on my PC, it seems pretty cool, but no spyware etc appears to be on my PC (which I'm suprised with)

If they were to have developed it, then it wouldnt have been as good.

I agree with mohza, stick to Spyware Doctor and Ad-Aware. They rock. Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1 was great, until they brought out Beta 2 and didn't distribute updates for the Beta 1 version anymore :( :@
