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.
