Re: Microsoft Anti-Spyware?
Great. Now MS has given itself monetary incentive to _not fix_ the problems it has caused. What's more, which company is going to be guarding against MS's own intrusions. I have Giant, and I don't trust its database anymore. I have pretty much stopped running it, instead relying on other products to catch spyware. About 1 month ago, I began noticing that Giant was becoming superfluous (began just giving me false positives), and more recently it has become totally useless.
My primary security software right now is ZoneAlarm (I am little alarmed about the path that this company is taking), KAV 4.5 (excellent), ProcessGuard 3.0 (airtight defense, the kind that MS should provide by closing up their own security holes in their operating system), and Ad-aware. This setup seems to be really working well, and all of my other security programs don't seem to be catching anything after I set this up.
Not only am I not going to buy MS's product, I have basically put it to rest because it does more harm then good right now - e.g. false positives.
