Altnet threat again

[Marx]

In the sequence of my question about Altnet threat from
yesterday. someone (Robbie A) had indicate me a way to
deal with. Of course I appreciate his help, but I
expected that Microsoft could gave me a solution from
their own.
It means, why should I install CClenaer or Lavasoft
Adaware to solve a known problem? Is MS AntiSpyware in
the state-of-the-art or what? I thought so...

MSAS is not "State of the art", it is also a Beta.

You will need this 3rd party tools for a long time.

Look at Lavasoft Ad-aware, downloaded 144 million times from
Download.com

And instead of CCleaner you can manually remove all junk but thats up
to you.
Remember that this junk is hidden by default inside Windows so first
enable viewing of this "junkyard".
