  Microsoft gets serious about security with beta of anti-spyware software
Time: 11:00 EST/16:00 GMT | News Source: TechRepublic | Posted By: Todd Richardson

The anti-spyware software recently announced by Microsoft is now mature enough to evaluate so I downloaded a copy and ran it head-to-head with a free utility: Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE (Personal Edition). There is no word yet on whether Microsoft plans to charge for the product once it is out of beta.

Although Microsoft's AntiSpyware isn't intended to do exactly the same thing as Ad-Aware, the goals are similar—to locate and quarantine software that can capture information from your computer and transmit it to others without your knowledge or agreement. Most of these are relatively harmless cookies used to monitor advertising hits, but the same technology can be hiding code that captures keystrokes and harvests other critical information from systems.
