Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)

Microsoft has come out with its own Anti-spyware program that is getting good reviews (based on the software from a company called "Giant" that MS aquired recently). Supposedly works better than Spybot + Adaware, all in one package. Can be downloaded for free from:

Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) Home

A good review can be found here too:

Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Microsoft Anti-Spyware Preview

I have run it on a system on which I had run SPybot and Ad-Aware, and it found one spyware app (so it works quite well). Plus, it gives excellent descriptions of what was found. Highly recommended (by your resident computer nerd - me).
