class="DetailsContent">Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) is a
security technology that helps protect Windows users from
spyware and other potentially unwanted software. Known
spyware on your PC can be detected and removed. This helps
reduce negative effects caused by spyware including slow PC
performance, annoying pop-up ads, unwanted changes to
Internet settings, and unauthorized use of your private
information. Continuous protection improves Internet
browsing safety by guarding over fifty (50) ways spyware can
enter your PC.
<br />
<br />
Participants in the worldwide SpyNetT community play a key
role in determining which suspicious programs are classified
as spyware. Microsoft researchers quickly develop methods to
counteract these threats, and updates are automatically
downloaded to your PC so you stay up to date.<br />
<br />
<B>Beta 1 Versions</B><br />
Since releasing Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on January 6,
2005 (Build 1.0.501), we have continued to receive feedback
from customers. We introduced a beta refresh on February 16,
2005 (Build 1.0.509) which enhanced some of the real-time
protection agents, added new threat categories, and improved
stability and performance.
<br/>
<br/>
An updated beta refresh released on June 23, 2005 (Build
1.0.613), introduced enhancements to the detection and
removal capabilities, including improved Winsock LSP removal
capabilities and support for long descriptions of
categorized software. In addition, we have also extended the
Windows AntiSpyware beta expiration date to December 31,
2005.
<br/>
<br/>
The latest beta refresh, build 1.0.615, addresses issues
pertaining to how Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) provides
information to the user about processes running on a PC,
solves an issue regarding the delivery of new anti-spyware
signatures for some customers and provides new signature
updates to help protect against recently identified spyware.
<br/>
<br/>
Existing users of the beta (Builds 1.0.501, 1.0.509,
1.0.613, and 1.0.614) will receive a software update that
includes the new beta refresh. The new beta refresh is also
available for download through this site.
<br/>
<br/>
<B>Microsoft would like to encourage all Windows AntiSpyware
(beta) users to download and install the new update (Build
1.0.615).</B>
<br/>
<br/>
The user must be an administrator to install this
application. To check the version number, click <b>About
Microsoft AntiSpyware.</b> on the <b>Help</b> menu.
<br />
<br />
<b>Important Notes</b>
<br />
<br />
<ul><li><b>English only:</b> <br />
The current beta is intended only for English language
versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. It
should not be deployed on non-English versions.<br />
</li>
<br />
<li><b>Beta Support Policy:</b> <br />
This is pre-release (beta) software distributed for feedback
and testing purposes. Microsoft does not provide technical
support for beta releases (see below for information about
how to gain access to newsgroups). If Windows AntiSpyware
(Beta) is causing an issue with your system, we recommend
removing it by using Add or Remove Programs and even using
System Restore if the problem persists.<br />
</li><br />
<li><b>Access to Newsgroups:</b> <br />
Although formal support is not offered for this beta, we
have provided <a
href="
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?ICP=spyware&sLCID=us">newsgroups</a>
to help get your questions answered.<br />
</li></ul>
