New MS Spyware & AV program. Any opinions??

I downloaded and installed it this afternoon.  I can't say how well it will work, time will tell. I did a full spyware scan and it didn't find anything that AdAware didn't find.

I did download it and passed up the activation part. You do have that choice.
Not sure what you are refering to as far as the remenants left in the reg, as I read that link and saw no reference to it.

Hi,

Saw this thread in another forum, about the program being a messy uninstall.

Hi,

When I went to the MS site to download the beta, it asked for my COA number to authenticate my copy of XP before it would let me download.

Couldn't be fussed to dig it out, but found the other site.

With good AV & spyware removal & prevention anyway. I may not even need it.

Given MS Beta's, I'm still keeping clear of SP 2 I'm wary of installing this, but would welcome the view(s) of those that have.

I'm not sure what activation means. I did download and verified my copy of Windows, but have not run it yet. Will see what it finds.

This is the site I got if from. They asked for nothing like that.
