    D/L from http://www.microsoft.com/spyware (easier link than the real one, this redirects you there).

    It is still beta, so yes, of course it still has bugs. But it works flawlessly from what I've seen.

    FYI: a bug can be as simple as a typo in a help file...that's why you see these insane bug counts for shipped versions of Windows, plus a LOT of bugs are duplicate entries or erroneous once someone tries to validate they exist.

    Microsoft anti spyware

    I wonder if this is what's already included in MSN9 and made availabe for use by others(e.g. that don't have MSN9)?

    I find that I have to still run AdAware and of course AVG, deepscans.

    The quickscan honestly isnt as thorough as AdAware's, but I supsect it's due to a smaller definitions database. It misses a lot.
