WARNING! I downloaded Microsoft AntiSpyware within
minutes of their first announcement and have been using
it since. The scan function is good and seems to catch
most of the nasties. But immediately disengage Real Time
Protection. It is a mess! It significantly slows down
virtually every function while the hard drive thrashes
away like mad. I'm running an Athlon 64 3400 with 1GB RAM
on a 1MB ADSL connection (don't see as how I could get a
much faster system) and my webpage loading times
increased by as much as 20 times! The Real Time
Protection comes ON as default. Turn it off! Another
example of Microsoft foisting software on the public that
is not ready for prime time!!!!
