MCT Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 What do u think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I really like MSAS... I used Giant before MS bought it and I think it is best antispyware SW on market... Only one "problem" is it takes pieces of SW as spyware - for example after uninstalling FlashGet it still mark it as spyware, but this is good for variants of spyware.One thing I am really looking forward to is Microsoft AntiSpyware Enterprise edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiMoNsAyS Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 i've voted the last i haven't used it but i think is a really good iniciative from m$, for this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^_^ Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 As long as they don't start charging for it, I'll think it's OK or maybe great even.It did find stuff Adaware didn't, but then again, the things it found I perceived to be relatively harmless B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theloneiguana Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Personally, I like it. I can't imagine why someone would say Giant sucked, it does so many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPero Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I voted OK, but I think MS should use those antispyware technologies for Windows core, not for an application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^_^ Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I agree with that, and possibly make the spy/adware definitions part of windows critical updatesOf course, it should be an optional component for the sake of those who would rather have something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

army20 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 lol, how can u prononce yourself about it without first trying it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The most sad part for MS.... Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.If they made this add-on good, they'd get sued. If they did not, you'd sue them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 in my two test it only found items not found by Spybot & Adaware. Some of its features are interesting. I think that M$ best option is to offer a free and pay version like Lavasoft does for Adaware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier1st Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 it's the same thing as giants antispyware just different wording and it doesen't have a subscription on it yet but giants does,it's ok but i wouldn't use it as i use giants antispyware instead,also during my test this and giant picked uo the same and picked up more than ad-aware,i tried it on my laptop n it found 70 adware like kazza n stuff that was uninstalled n gone that ad-ware missed but was picked up by both this and giants antispyware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianarchie Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Used it to remove a browser hijack..and it isint bad..but wat i dont like is that M$ is planning to charge for it after the beta period. They should be giving it free especially when it is used to correct systems infected due to loopholes in their own software! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
