anti spyware-windows update

[Daniel]

Do I have to install Windows anti spyware or will it
automatically be installed when I check windows update?
Are there any important security programs that windows
update won't warn me about?

Microsoft Antispyware is an unsupported beta program. It isn't offered by
Windows or Microsoft Update.

It is only available for Windows 2000 or Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
or newer versions of Windows.
