344875, RE: MS Anti Spyware program - Review Posted by Allyn, Thu Jan-13-05 10:09 PM
I have already decided that it will remain in my arsenal free or not.
Shelly, that was my conclusion when I was running it. However, before I pulled out the plastic, I gave Giant's "brother" or "cousin", CounterSpy, a trial. Then MS bought Giant, so I ended up paying $19.95 for CounterSpy, which comes from the same source code.
What won me over was how well the Giant A/S product finished a cleanup on a severely infected system that I detailed here. Also, though Giant A/S had some fairly memory intensive processes, there does not appear to be any perceptible problems. The Giant progeny seems to run great on Windows XP systems of 256 megabytes and greater.
I agree that CounterSpy or the MS AntiSpyware products are definitely worth having. One more shotgun shell for malware.
