With so much going on in the malicious codes arena and with so many type of attacks and variants one tries to have the best levels of protection and security against these threats.
After installing and testing the Microsoft Anti Spyware (beta) that was released I must admit that Microsoft’s stance in trying to assist with the Spyware issues has been somewhat of a success. After all, they wrote the app to run on their OS to stop the issues from affecting their applications and settings which has been a major plague for Windows users. The know the strenghts and weaknesses of there OSsand applications.
How do you guys find the Anti Spyware tools performance vs the ones already a standard on the market Like SpyBot, Spysweeper,Pest Patrol and Ad-Aware.
I have setup a test environment with systems configured with Win2k and WinXP and each system runs a different Anti Spyware tool. How do they fan out at the end of the day?
Results vary, but who does a better job of blocking and cleaning up the mess already created.
Have you tested it out yet?
What are your thoughts?
If you haven’t, I suggest you do.
