Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware (Updated Beta)

**MIG-31** · Jan 20, 2006, 10:00 PM

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. This helps reduce negative effects caused by spyware including slow PC performance, annoying pop-up ads, unwanted changes to Internet settings, and unauthorized use of your private information. Continuous protection improves Internet browsing safety by guarding over fifty (50) ways spyware can enter your PC.

Participants in the worldwide SpyNet™ community play a key role in determining which suspicious programs are classified as spyware. Microsoft researchers quickly develop methods to counteract these threats, and updates are automatically downloaded to your PC so you stay up to date.

I would imagine this only includes all the updated definitions from it's release as opposed from file updates?.

I'm only the messenger and went by the initial source i found the link from..& the date.

It does if you read the rest of the page you would find this.

The latest beta refresh, build 1.0.701, extends the Windows AntiSpyware beta expiration date to July 31, 2006 and provides new signature updates to help protect against recently identified spyware.

Existing users of the beta (Build 1.0.615) will receive a software update that includes the new beta refresh. The latest beta refresh is also available for download through this site.

I saw that. I already had that build and expiry date, which is why I asked.

I wasn't questioning your post but the release date on the MS site, seeing as it is nothing new from Nov.

Whatever, this thing's never found a single thing for me anyway!
