| | Spyware solutions: Technology and leadership |
 | | The Microsoft anti-spyware vision is that PC users should be able to see and understand the software that is running on their PCs and have the power to prevent or remove software they do not want. | | | Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware is a security technology that helps protect Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted software. | | | Microsoft's approach to software is distinguished by its vision of an open and extensible platform. |

| | Microsoft Antispyware - Printer Friendly version |
| | Microsoft gives a complete answer: "...Spyware is a general term used for software that performs certain behaviors such as advertising, collecting personal information, or changing the configuration of your computer, generally without appropriately obtaining your consent. | | | Microsoft didn't develop the Antispyware software in-house, but rather followed its age old tactic, "...what you cannot build, buy...", and bought the software called " GIANT AntiSpyware ". | | | The current beta from Microsoft is free to download, hence the word beta, but when the final version comes, it is expected that there will be some kind of subscription to keep up with the latest updates and use the advanced features. |

| | Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Microsoft Windows Anti-Spyware Preview |
| | In February 2005, Microsoft shipped a second public beta version of Windows AntiSpyware that features "enhanced real-time protection agents, new threat categories, and improved stability and performance." It does not appear to be much different from the previous beta version. | | | For this reason, Giant AntiSpyware uses logic that is based partially on feedback from Spynet to examine the "genetic fingerprints" of files and determine whether those files are valid. | | | However, Giant AntiSpyware, unlike some other spyware solutions, presents a pleasant, easily-navigated user interface that is similar, in some ways, to a Microsoft taskpad or activity center. |

| | Microsoft Antispyware Review |
| | Microsoft AntiSpyware has a well-designed user interface that is nice to look at, but can be a bit confusing for the novice user. | | | This is helpful if you have wiped out spyware that is needed by an otherwise useful program (Real Player and Kazaa are typical examples of software embedded with spyware on your PC that won’t run without it). | | | Expect to have to dig through the Microsoft Knowledge Base for answers to your support questions in the future. |

| | AntiSpyware is designed to protect Windows users from spyware, or programs that surreptitiously monitor computer users' actions, and other malicious programs. | | | One month after Microsoft released a beta version of its new anti-spyware software, security researchers at Sophos say they have detected the first malware program that seeks to attack it. | | | Although the researchers have only seen a handful of incidents of the program "in the wild"--out on the Internet--the speed in which hackers targeted Microsoft's AntiSpyware software is concerning, Cluley says. |

| | Getting started with Microsoft AntiSpyware |
| | Fortunately, thanks to Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware, it's easy to remove this sort of program from your computer; you can download the free from the Microsoft website. | | | By validating Windows, you become part of the Windows Genuine Advantage program, which means that you'll be able to download additional free software from Microsoft, like Photo Story 3, and you'll be certain that you have a genuine copy of Windows installed on your PC. | | | That means that it's moved to a secure part of your computer's hard drive, and restricted, so it can't run and cause any problems. |
