Microsoft Antispyware Beta

[J2thez929]

its a pretty good spyware cleaner. u don't have to worry about it messing up b/c microsoft actually boughty this product from someone(i forget who originally created it) so they didn't actually write this program. should work good then

i just reformatted a couple of weeks ago, but it still managed to find one bad thing in my system

Well, I just got it, and it seems good to me...

Though I stil mantain that there is no "one true cleanser", so this will simply join adaware and spybot on the Anti-Spyware stable of justice.

Nice find though, thanks.

Haha, nice name! I may have to use that (with your billing of course ).

BTW...you realize if you shorten that it becomes your A.S.S. of Justice.

You may use my (patented!)* name... and yes, the shortening only makes it oh so sweeter.

*Warning, by using this name you sign away your bank account, home, and all possesions of value, including sole.

Dang, you want my shoes and my fish dinners, too? I better lay off, then.

It seems Mercer's wit is rivaled only to the great Big Willie Shakespeare (as he liked to be called).

MARULLUS
Where is thy leather apron and thy rule?
What dost thou with thy best apparel on?
You, sir, what trade are you?

Second Commoner
Truly, sir, in respect of a fine workman, I am but,
as you would say, a cobbler.

MARULLUS
But what trade art thou? answer me directly.

Second Commoner
A trade, sir, that, I hope, I may use with a safe
conscience; which is, indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles.

MARULLUS
What trade, thou knave? thou naughty knave, what trade?

Second Commoner
Nay, I beseech you, sir, be not out with me: yet,
if you be out, sir, I can mend you.

MARULLUS
What meanest thou by that? mend me, thou saucy fellow!

Second Commoner
Why, sir, cobble you.

FLAVIUS
Thou art a cobbler, art thou?

Second Commoner
Truly, sir, all that I live by is with the awl: I
meddle with no tradesman's matters, nor women's
matters, but with awl. I am, indeed, sir, a surgeon
to old shoes; when they are in great danger, I
recover them. As proper men as ever trod upon
neat's leather have gone upon my handiwork.

for those of you who skipped English, a cobbler back then was referred to as either a shoemaker or a lazy man... interesting combo of word meanings

I've used this now for about 3 weeks and have loved. The only downside that I've heard so far is that the Beta looks to be expiring in a little over 100 days. It still doesn't sound like it is known if Microsoft is going to charge for the software or just offer it for free, although knowing them.....

[Mercer Boy]

Well, I had 0 (count 'em, 0) spyware things on my laptop at home...I frequently scan with Spybot and Ad-Aware also, so it's no big surprise. I was hoping I was going to see stuff that I hadn't seen before, but that didn't happen. Seriously, for as much stuff as I look at, I was really expecting it to find some hidden problems.

So, I'm a little skeptical as to its real usefulness at this point. If it goes pay, it may not be any skin off my back.

I defientely wouldn't order it if it costs money, no matter how gerat it is. However, since it is in a free state, I think it's great!
