Well I downloaded it using firefox then installed it... easy to use interface, easy to set up and works really well 2... I'm happy thats for sure.

Did a full scan and it picked up quite a few things but left it set on ignore for the MSN Plus stuff... I recomend this to anyone thats for sure and if rocker see's this he should defently download it as it might be able to reset his home page to what it should be.

Edit: the firewall thing works well 2.

Haha, told ya. :P Yeah, it's quite good. I think Microsoft bought a program called GIANT anti-spyware from a company and they're using it, except they're using it under their own name as it looks just like the original program...Both are as good as each other though. Great anti-spyware program...

So is it better than spybot? Doesn't beta mean you can try it now and then you have to pay out the ass to use it later?

beta software is a pre released version of the software that is usually buggy and is not the final product

Yeah...It's better than Spybot...:) Nah, I've used this before, I didn't find it buggy really...Even if it is a beta version.

One of Liquid Snake's retarded tips - If you're being sarcastic, try using the miracle of brackets. Observe...

Nitrous Oxide is a good driver. (Sarcasm...)

Lol, j/k mate. You're actually a better driver than me, haha. :P

I downloaded it as well, and it is definitely quick. I found the spyware and got rid of it.

An old thread I know but just thought I'd ask how people were getting on with it now.

They have produced a new one (have done for sometime) I'm currently using it but having problems updating it. Might end up ditching it actually as I'm looking into other virus and spyware protection at the moment.
