My school finally decided to put anti-spyware devices on their computers. While printing something today I noticed Microsoft Anti-Spyware running, as well as a quicklaunch icon for Spybot.

Make sure you use the right removal programs and not these rogues..

so yah yo, hows the integrity of M$ spyware programe because i know M$ doesn't always make the quality stuff, and its spyware program is new, and spybot/ad-aware are already really good and free too.

I quit running adwatch and let MS anti spyware watch my machine. With everything that has happened with adaware lately I can't say I trust them anymore. I would never pay for adaware right now. If I had it to do over I wouldn't have bought it.

When U Pffffffffft.

So your saying u don't wanna pay for adwatch but you doubt the integrity of windows spyware program?
I don't have ad-watch, i just use the personal ad-aware.

MS antispyware is pretty good. Its basically just a rebranding of Giant anti-spyware, which was pretty well thought of. Ithink most reviewsshow that it catches more than either adaware or spybot. It also has good real-time protection.

One downside is that it can give some false positives

I Fix 4 U · 28-Feb-2005, 06:30 PM #8

I don't care much about false positives, i do need some realtime i guess i'll give in to the monopoly and give ms antispyware a go.
Well, thats how walmart was too lol.

I did pay for adwatch. I bought adaware pro. What I am saying is that I DO trust MS antispyware more than adaware.

Until I see if lavasoft is selling out or not I am not trusting them. I have spybot, spysweeper, adaware, ms antispyware, spyware blaster, norton antivirus, and zone alarm pro on my machine. I don't get zapped anymore.

Every anti spyware I have with the exception of adaware detects and removes When U. Lavasoft has lost my faith for the time being.

Yes, even though it has been over a year and maybe almost 2 since I bought adaware I am still upset that they have removed a known spyware from their database. The TAC points on When U were lowered because of an EULA. Who reads every word of an EULA?

I do, but most people don't.

I Fix 4 U · 28-Feb-2005, 06:38 PM **#10**

WOW, u read the *entire* eula.
I'm glad i didn't pay, being a windows/linux user, and since i'm in windows now m$ just lets me download, thats some good things, free media player+decent protection. Good to scan with other software every now and then incase one misses something.

Skivvywaver · 28-Feb-2005, 06:44 PM **#11**

I scan the EULA. The entire thing. I catch the "dirt" in it if there is any.

I Fix 4 U · 28-Feb-2005, 06:59 PM **#12**

Any eula ever say-"By using this program we are entitled to come to your house and shoot you"- i hope not...heh.
ps, ur views on service pack 2, i've found it time where i think i should get it.

MS Spyware has never found anything for me - its been over a month - somethings fishy

I don't get along with SP2. The reason being that I am used to taking care of my own machine. SP2 and some of my programs seem to have some conflict. I am running it right now but I don't like it. I will format and get rid of it but first I need to make a killer back up.

You have until 9/06 to ride on SP1 as long as you don't use automatic updates. I may do a backup tonight and format in the AM. I really need to stop trying to get along with SP2. I know it isn't going to work like I want it to. LOL
