Spyware/Adware

Microsoft Windows Antispyware Beta has the same function
that Spyboot and Adware?

But Giant has been profitable and self-sustaining since its inception,
Newman told me, and its products are currently used by almost 1 million
customers. That success, he said, has been driven by Giant's community-based
approach.
"We decided to leverage the power of community and create an anti-spam
community," he said. "Many products are like that now, including Cloudmark
and others. But there wasn't anything like that four years ago. We allow the
Internet community to help us solve a huge problem, and we build into that
system an intelligent approach to anti-spam that combines [traditional
anti-spam] rules with heuristics."

About a year ago, Giant began looking into anti-spyware for both consumers
and enterprises. Here, the company knew it could use some of its existing
anti-spam technology. But it also solidified its community-based approach
into a community Web site called Spynet, which helps ensure that Giant
customers know about spyware threats before anyone else. Spynet was an
immediate success, with over 200,000 contributors in its first month alone.

Hi JJ,
They are somewhat similar in their cleaning abilities, but MWAS is
proactive, and can stop a good deal of the junk from getting to where it
hurts in the first place.
