Thanks for the update RJ.

Although, I am not sure if I should trust their software

Downloaded this a couple days ago.. yet to try it out tho.

For those who want it, microsoft recommends downloading it via "windows update".

I've had it for about 4 days already, set it to automatic checking every night at 2am...works like a charm, really loving it. Reviews from other "experts" are really good too. So far so good (beta version)

Eventually MSFT is going to launch an anti-virus application and this would be coupled into it as well (or so they say at MSFT)...

I've been using it since it came out and I really like it.
We've been using it here at work with success.
You can get really granular with it, which is awesome.

Between this and the upcoming Microsoft Anti-Virus (via Longhorn) they look to be really cleaning up their act.

About time!

Don't worry there will always be enough hackers to keep them busy and entertained

This product is seriously top notch.

I've had it installed since release - and it REALLY does a fantastic job.

It's UI is far slicker than "Search & Destroy" and it's XP integration is far superior to "Adaware".

(both above are still good products)

Overall I'm 100% satisfied with this product.

i have it and am totally satisfied with it thus far -- you gotta figure the people who are going to know the windows systems the best are the people at the company who made it and therefore they know how to attune their spyware detection the best (in theory)

i also like it a lot.

but it'll just get more and more integrated into windows......then u gotta pay for it!

I thought microsoft already announced that this software will always be free?

Eitherway, it works great, I run a nightly scan at 2 am. My computer's never run cleaner.
