Here is a link to the new program brought out by microsoft. This spyware program has realtime scanning much like anti virus software. I have tried it and it seems guite good at this stage but the program is still in beta version at present. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
The program was developed by another company recently bought by Microsoft.Check out these articles the second may be of interest as hackers are already looking for holes http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,119300,00.asp http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,119641,00.asp
Interesting! I am using spy sweeper at present anyway until microsoft have finished beta testing theirs.
Despite my carefull computer surfing, and my relatively high computer knowledge (Programmer/IT) I have lost my home computer to mall ware THREE times! It may not be perfect but I am happy Microsoft is starting to look at this issue.
