James Kovacs' Weblog - Microsoft enters Antispyware fray
 
# Thursday, January 06, 2005

Microsoft has entered the antispyware fray with a surprisingly named product - Microsoft AntiSpyware - which is currently in beta. (After the Microsoft Bob fiasco, Microsoft has gotten a lot better at naming its products - even if the names are a tad obvious. Hmmmm... I wonder what Microsoft Content Management Server does???) Anyway Microsoft acquired GIANT Company and its antispyware product only 23 days ago, which is a quick turn-around to re-brand a product. As Scott Hanselmann points out, they missed a few spots though. Still Microsoft AntiSpyware is a welcome addition to our arsenal of tools against malware. I'm wondering how it will fare against SpyBot and AdAware.
