Share |
<= Previous Post | Next Post =>

Microsoft released their beta AntiSpyware software today.  Many rumors are floating about that they will start charging for this software in the near future.  Check out their AntiSpyware FAQ and you'll see their answers hint that they will eventually charge you for the full release.  (see questions "How much does Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) cost?" and "Do I need to register Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)?")  Should you use it?  Well, let's see...

Pros.

  1. Microsoft - They work hard at making their money, so their software is decent and sometimes great!
  2. It protects your computer more than if your not using any AntiMalware software
    What is malware? - Spyware is a type of malware (bad software)

Cons.

  1. It's a beta... not fully "ready" yet.
  2. There are better alternatives currently

My vote?  Not yet.  Get more information on protecting your computer.
