Responding to escalating complaints about
viruses and other unwanted programs entering
its Windows OS -- Microsoft has released
FREE software to erase spyware.
Click Here
I downloaded the BETA version this morning. No install
problems other than the fact that it didn't like the
fact I was using FIREFOX to download it -- so I
switched over to Internet Explorer. No big deal.
Before you can download you are asked to verify your
Windows product key, so have that located and ready to
submit. There is an option to bypass verification but
I am unsure if you get the same protection without
verification.
The program remains active in your system tray as
I presume it detects any spyware trying to enter your
computer. Not very happy that it is yet another program
taking up my memory, but it does seem to be an essential
one.
Ran a system scan and it detected over 20 spyware
incidents. Removed all of them with little effort.
I would recommend that everyone download and install
this program, though for some reason I expect there
to be some sort of negative feedback about any program
Microsoft releases for free.
