Free Software from Microsoft!
I know what you are thinking - "Hey Gadget Guy, did you hit the Captain Morgan early this evening? Microsoft doesn't give you anything for free. I mean even customer support is not a free call."
And how could I blame you? Free and Microsoft go together about as well as low calorie, tastes great or alcohol free beer. But, I kid you not. Microsoft has released for download the beta version of its new AntiSpyware software (click the post title for download page). According to the Microsoft site:
"Microsoft 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."
When you download the beta, Microsoft will ask you to validate your Windows version. You can skip this part - for now. Future versions will most likely require the validation. Get it while it's still free. You're welcome.

Sorry to burst your bubble (maybe) but I actually think Microsoft is planning on making Microsoft Antispyware a subscription based service...you wont be able to update after a certain date without a fee.
I'm not positive about this, so I could be TOTALLY wrong. I'll hope for the best.
This MS junk has already been hacked! Norton is the very best.

Sorry to burst your bubble maddie dog, but Norton has a VERY serious flaw which they were forced to reveal and repair this week.

They are certainly good, just not sure that they are the "very best".

This is funny. Windows has shipped with Cydoor (the nastiest of the spywares) PRE-INSTALLED for years. And if you cleaned it out of your registry and managed to clean out the files on your next update it would INSTALL IT AGAIN. Yeah, I'd trust these guys.
