Microsoft antispyware

[chaos16]

has microsoft antispyware improved since last yr??


coz last time i used it was when i has problems updating it.


as the detection improved?

is it now a better combination with adaware se free and spybot-search & destroy?
also with ewido free and a-squared free and spyware doctor free.

good combination

Well it's still called : "Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)"
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
So I have nothing to say about this software.

Hi,
Never had any problem with it. Works OK.
If you're nice to software - it will be nice back.
Don't say bad words about Bill - and it will work splendidly.

The same applies to all betas.
Not easy to put a release date on betas.
First they do have to iron out most of the bugs and making improvements. :)

I am using MSAS on one of my computers a the primary AS utility. I also have a trial of Spy Sweeper, and the free version of Spyware Doctor. I am using SS and SWD to double check MSAS. So far they have found nothing. I intend to use the MSAS as the primary AS unless it is found wanting by scans with the other two.

I suspect that it is as good as other AS programs, and when combined with Ewido and BD 9.0 I have a high degree of confidence that I am protected about as well as could be done.

I also use a couple of on-line scanners as a further check.
