That's what makes it better than most others.

By running in the background it prevents spyware from installing itself on your computer instead of you removing it after it later.

It's not really for people who know how to avoid spyware, but more for the "I don't know what I'm doing" crowd.

Not to mention it will find a few things the others won't.

It's not really their product, they bought a company called Giant Anti Spyware, and then removed the Giant logo and put Microsoft.

Anyway, it's an ok program.

Under the "Prevention" topic, how about putting something about email attachments, since that's the most common way to get viruses?

Yea, I should update this thread.

I just need to wake up first. Time for some starbucks.

Added two new spyware products, and added some information.

Edit:

Fixed coing problem that caused it to display incorrectly in IE.

Hey Luna I think you should add Spyware Doctor to that list.
It's really cool and has solved quite a few issues for me.

Here's the link to download it.

Hope it helps.
