I dug up these links to studies that compare various Anti-
Spyware products. I post this in the context of another
thread that implicates MS Anti-Spyware.

These were posted to the grc news server, and I am sure in
the various groups.

Yeah? At least for this test, Spybot came in 2nd overall, Ad-Aware 4th (out of
10 products.)

More than anything else, however, these tests show that one needs to use more
than a single product to be effective in cleaning out spyware.

Did you notice that IAW their charts, Ad-Aware, Spybot et al all had "x's" in
1, 3, and 5. Hummm.... I'm wondering if blocks 2, 4, 6 may need one of the
programs that their chart placed "x" in for these areas?

If you search their short list, you will find both of these are on its short
list of recommended programs, along with three others.

Just to let others know, in case they don't have automatic updates turned
on....

Microsoft now has included this anti-spyware program as part of their regular
updates )

Right !!! I am working on creating a user friendly
environment that is useful and FREE.. The only thing payed
for is Windows. Does that convince you of my innocence ??
Further, one of my new year resolutions is to migrate to
Linux.. NO, I am not, never have been, and never will be
sooooo lucky to be employed by MS..

The smile was noted, but the fact remains that MSAS spanked ad-Aware and
Spybot. This is not a trivial feat. It spanked the top 2 anti-spyware
programs by a huge margin.

I think I'm finished using the word "spank" for a while. I'm beginning to
sound kinky.
