Well, Microsoft has decided that it should take on spyware, or at least buy a company that was planning on it.

I downloaded the beta yesterday and everything seems to be going ok. It also will run all the time and alert you when an application is trying to do evil acts. I always knew Microsoft Money was doing crazy things to my computer.

Download details: Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)

I would recommend giving the beta a whirl if you are an adventours sort, or just like having Spybot & Ad-aware on your computer all the time.
