Review of Microsoft’s Anti-Spyware

Not very positive

Once installed, the tool scanned the machine and reported no problems, even though there were big problems.

The tool looks for a limited number of pests, such as “Sasser” and “MSBlaster,” so it didn’t find the worm, “Netsky.P,” that had infected this PC. The program, though, will be updated each month and will presumably become more effective.

Overall, I was more impressed with the antispyware program’s protective measures and simple interface than with its ability to cleanse existing infections. Still, Microsoft seems to be on the right path to fixing the mess caused by the careless users, malicious programmers, unethical companies and vulnerable software.

If only it hadn’t taken so long.
