While on the topic of security and anti-spyware, I can across a very informative page on Microsoft: The Microsoft Malware Protection Center.

This site gives you a rundown of current and active threats for Windows as well a dictionary on threat which lists it’s severity level, description, effected file, etc. While you can get this same information by Googling a treat name, the Microsoft site is useful because it adds some additional information all in one place, including:

• Top desktop / email threats.
• Top Malicious Software Removal Tool detections.
• Links to security blogs.
• Comprehensive threat encyclopedia.

This is a good bookmark to have in the event you are dealing with trying to remove spyware.
