I have been using it for the last week and it has produced some very interesting results running it after my normal spyware scanners have supposedly cleaned my system.

Microsoft spyware (beta)

Just wanted to note it only works with XP.I have it on my laptop running xp but could not load it on my desktop running ME.It's the best spyware I've used to date.

O yeah that thing works miracles.

It finds tons of stuff adaware and spybot dont find.

on my old pc it found 7 things 1 that was rated severe, and 1 that was the I-search toolbar, That thing was a huge pain. I deleted it out of windows, program files. and still came back.

but microsofts program fixed me right up.

I was dissapointed when I found it wouldn't run on one of my machines running ME.

Actually, it runs on Win2000, WinXP Home, Pro, Media Center and 64bit, and Win2003 Server.
