microsoft anti-spyware only a beta testing phase.

been reported it even catch item that not even Spyware at all.

it only a beta it still in bad shape they need to do more work with it. Spybot - Search & Destroy, webroot-Spy Sweeper, lavasoft-Ad-Aware SE Personal are so much better. when it come to killing off spyware & adware crap.

be warn only instill any beta software only if you a tech head if not you be asking for it crash's and error they may come up. were they be no help if there any new update it be a 30days to 6mo later.
