Anyone try it yet? I wonder how it compares to Lavasoft's adaware and S + D

After Shock Media · 05-29-2005, 03:13 PM

Yes I have and I personally think it is much better than both of what you mentioned.

UniqueMovies · 05-29-2005, 03:14 PM

It's the best I ever tried.

TTiger · 05-29-2005, 03:14 PM

the best one

Ice · 05-29-2005, 03:15 PM

I find it works very well Gene... give it a try

Terry · 05-29-2005, 03:16 PM

Really??? MS has made something that everyone loves.. is this a joke thread?

Judas_Hansen · 05-29-2005, 03:17 PM

Yes - its a great program, but dont find all spyware yet.. They are working hard to get the rest of the blacklists incorporated in the definition files... I think it will one of the best, when its done.

But there are 2 sides to that program
Bad: Microsoft is not good at finding they own backdoors to protect the OS
Good: They know what should be running in the background, and how to remove it from the system

Something has to make up for all those XP issues. Man, that thing's been patched more times than the Skipper's boat in Gilligan's Island

No it is good, but MS didn't make it, they just brought another company and rebadged the application as MS.

The same way they did with Age of Empires I (still the best RTS game, at least in my opinion). I believe the original maker of the spyware app was GIANT Software.

Yeah I think you're right.

The only bad thing about it is that it keep trying to remove my casino-on-net software.. .which I actually want to keep.

correct - but at least they take it serious

GigoloJustin · 05-29-2005, 03:55 PM

I like it a lot.

$5 submissions · 05-29-2005, 03:55 PM

A little off topic, anyone here using Linux? If so, which do you recommend?

Helix · 05-29-2005, 04:51 PM

Mepis
www.mepis.org
the install is painless, and there is a nice support forum at www.mepislovers.org
its based on Debian

xXxtreme2005 · 05-29-2005, 04:59 PM

I am currently using it and have found it to be very relaible.

You should go to the source and try Counter Spy.

Barefootsies · 05-29-2005, 05:41 PM

Yes. Had it a good two months I would guess. Good prog.

bjjb · 05-29-2005, 05:48 PM

Ive had it installed for several months and besides getting a few javabyteverify trojans or whatever the fuck theyre called surfin crack/passowrd sites I cant even tell its running. So I guess its working fine.

bikinihouse · 05-29-2005, 05:48 PM

YEah, it kicks ass!

Correction: Microsoft acquired the anti-spyware company GIANT, then modified the program.

AdultX · 05-29-2005, 06:35 PM

Better then anything else out there!

Jace · 05-29-2005, 06:37 PM

another good one, that looks EXACTLY like MS antispy, is Counter Spy...fucking great program

Spunky · 05-29-2005, 06:38 PM

I think it is mediocre..My other programs seem to pick up quite a bit MS couldn't find

Damian_Maxcash · 05-29-2005, 06:42 PM

Yes...an MS prog that works

Wonders will never cease

I works well actually.... I dont even look at it now... 5am everyday it does its thing and I dont have to worry about it at all

Combo or stand alone?

candyflip · 05-29-2005, 09:39 PM

Haven't had a lick of crap on any of my boxes since installing and using the MS Anti Spyware app.

Dax · 05-29-2005, 09:56 PM

I use all 3 of them and in tandem they work awesome!!

The webroot is VERY good..

Sosa · 05-29-2005, 10:24 PM

ya, use all three of them.

SGS · 05-30-2005, 01:13 AM

Love the program. Downloaded it as soon as it was released and have not had any serious problems since.

TDF · 05-30-2005, 01:16 AM

aurora is aone nasty piece of spyware

xclusive · 05-30-2005, 01:20 AM

They are doing a great job with it i'm impressed so far

darnit · 05-30-2005, 02:03 AM

I just installed it and it found 5 that the others missed...

Im actually quite impressed.

webcrawler · 05-30-2005, 02:19 AM

Just installed it now to replace Webroot's spysweeper on my pc.

JayJay · 05-30-2005, 02:23 AM

By the way I ran the scan and didn't have any spareware on my machine,
Must be Firefox

2HousePlague · 05-30-2005, 06:04 AM

It "seems" to be doing a lot of work (caching constantly), and interrupts me a lot -- can anyone tell me how to close one of those notification windows without taking any action (as in, "okay maybe later") -- because the windows don't close unless you let the program "defend" you, but then it shuts down all my browser windows -- so, i'm like -- okay -- i can suffer 20% of my screen being covered, or i can let all my browsers get shut down and navigate back to all the pages I was viewing -- I hope I'm just missing the toggle for this option somewhere -- quite annoying otherwise.

j-

WebTitan · 05-30-2005, 06:14 AM

i run it on the wofes PC, but when i tried it on mine, FTP stopped working and a few other apps. Could not figure out how to keep it and still have everything work right, so i canned it.

$5 submissions · 05-30-2005, 06:19 AM

This thing's pretty tight. Even bagged that annoying GEO-IP specific browser hijack crap. Good stuff.

Praguer · 05-30-2005, 06:24 AM

It's the only one I use now
