This is a giant leap forward, for MS, and assisting it's
OS users, with the ever increasing problem of
spyware\adware\malware. In particular the real time
scanning is an excellent feature. This, combined with a
good firewall(both incoming and outgoing[the XP one only
does incoming]like Zone Alarm[free]),SpywareBlaster and
real time virus scanning(like Avast-also free),should
protect a system very well. I'm impressed with the overall
effeciency of the program and tested it extensively over
the last few days. I did this by going to places that I
knew to add spyware\adware\malware and it stopped it all.
The program did not find anything on my system that I
wasn't already aware of though. I have been using Spybot
S&D, AdAware, Bazooka, SpywareGaurd, SpywareBlaster and
IDBlaster for months. So a new addition like this program
was interesting, if not late. I hope that MS will
endeavour to keep this free for everyone or I'm sure that
it won't find much support in the Home User\Standalone
market. Two thumbs up Microsoft. Give yourselves a pat on
the back. TTFN.
