Microsoft announced yesterday that it had purchased anti-spyware firm Giant Company Software in an undisclosed transaction, and now promises that it will release a spyware toolkit for Windows users in the next 30 days.
While the toolkit will be free at first, Microsoft isn't ruling out charging for updates in the future.
It's about time, as surveys show that the vast majority of Windows PCs are infested with spyware, and most users have no idea how to remove these programs, which do everything from popping up advertisements to recording - and stealing - passwords and other "secret" information.
1. I hope that major companies like yahoo with its antispy soft and Microsoft which recently bought antispyware application will win this spyware war.
If you are infected with spyware use Free programs like adaware and spybot to protect and clean the system. It they doesn't help and still see weird process or file in the system, you can check on it in www.2-spyware.com and remove manually.
