If Microsoft AntiSpyware BETA1 detects a file or suspected spyware
application that it recommends to remove, use the drop down window and
choose QUARANTINE. Unless you are 100% certain that what has been
detected is malware or a malware related setting it is best for most
Users to move the detected object into QUARANTINE. This way you'll have
a backup in case of a False Positive and your system will not be hosed.

Either post to an appropriate newsgroup to inquire about said spyware,
do a search on Google, or go to a well-known spyware forum and don't be
afraid to inquire about it. The system you save may be your own.

>>do a search on Google,

Surely you mean "do a search on MSN,"
