Download details: Windows AntiSpyware (Beta): This is the result of Microsoft's purchase of Giant. (that was quick...) I had a great experience with this tool today. It found seven spyware apps on my machine. Seven. And I thought I had a really clean machine.

Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) is a security technology that helps protect Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted software. Known spyware on your PC can be detected and removed.

Don't let the "Windows license validation" thing throw you — you can use it without validating. I wonder if this will be more effective than other tools because it knows all the Windows API secrets?

FTC Shuts Down Fraudulent Antispyware
Company 03/14/2005 06:26 PM
Chalk one up for the good guys. The FTC today announced that it's filed a restraining order against a company that allegedly offered Internet users a spyware scanner program that falsely reported that computers were infected with spyware, and which failed to remove any spyware at all from infected machines. (We detailed some similarly sketchy businesses in last fall's story, Poor Defenders.)

"In an effort to induce consumers to purchase and download the defendants' "anti-spyware" software from their Web site, the defendants make numerous material deceptive representations in their marketing media," the FTC report says."

"First, after describing the various dangers of spyware surreptitiously installed on a computer, the defendants represent that they have "scanned" or otherwise examined the consumer's computer and have detected that spyware already resides on it. In numerous instances, the defendants make these spyware detection claims when the computer has no spyware residing on it."
