Why Microsoft AntiSpyware Is Untrustworthy

Read it and weep.

The good news is that Microsoft AntiSpyware is in beta. By that very designation, that means that no one should be relying on it. It is also free. Since that is the case, I can still say, no foul on Microsoft's part. If anyone is relying on this beta to keep their computer clean, it's their bad, not Microsoft's. Yet.

The bigger question will come when people actually start paying for it. Will Microsoft still give a "pass" to Claria and others?

Until these problems are cleared up, Microsoft AntiSpyware is on my not-recommended list.
