With Microsoft’s acquisition of Giant Company Software and their leading software package, Giant Antispyware, Microsoft gain a foothold into the lucrative computer protection market. Microsoft built upon Giant Antispyware to release Microsoft Anti Spyware.
Microsoft Anti Spyware is a great example of an easy to use product which contains a great array of functionality for a software package that is FREE. On its initial release, Microsoft Anti Spyware removed the File Shredder and System Inoculation features. Since its initial release, Microsoft Anti Spyware has developed into a fuller featured software package that now contains features such as enhanced real-time protection agents, new threat categories, and improved stability and performance.
It must be noted that not one anti-spyware product finds every type of malware and spyware. You should ensure that you regularly scan your computer with a different anti-spyware product as well as having some form of Virus protection suite. Overall Microsoft Anti Spyware is an excellent software package that will provide a simple and easy to use user interface with a great level of technical fineness to provide spyware protection for the home computer user.
