Microsoft Anti-spyware

So, what do you guys think about Microsoft's Anti-spyware?

I don't remember how I did it, but it did allow me to look at my running processes and actually understand which program was doing the running. I liked that, but I think they waited too long to come out with their own anti-spyware did it?

I don't get it.

It prompts me to install this often on Windows Update, then I install it and it apparently runs, but I never see the program nor the results.

Am I missing something?

I love Microsoft Anti-spyware. It is about time Microsoft actually created a free useful program for Windows. It is the only anti-spyware I use and my computer is pretty clean. However, it gets kinda annoying.

Well...Microsoft Anti-Spyware is only free for the BETA version only. When the stable official release, you will have to pay for it.

It's Microsoft...dont expect them to do something for free...

"Created".... Well, not so much created as just bought out another company who had the product, and renamed it to Microsoft AS... :lol:
