Another thumbs up from me on the Microsoft anti-spyware program. It's
kept me clean and has helped almost everybody that I've told about it.
I've been interested in MS's comments about what is going to happen
when the beta period expires which is 116 days from today according to
the program. They've made noises about charging for it or possibly
offering it for free. I think the latter is the only sensible way to
proceed since their "swiss cheese" software is the primary reason
we're having to deal with these problems in the first place. Some of
the comments from the makers of other brands of Anti-Spyware software
have been interesting too.
