Microsoft acquired this software and it is offered as a beta version. This software is free and it was easy to install and use.
In the first scan it found three forms of spyware on my computer. One was a mild threat, one was software I deliberately installed for remote access (VNC), but one was a serious threat that had not been detected before. The software reported on each kind of spyware, what it does, and the threat level. It also recommended what action to take (ignore, quarantine, or remove).
It is well worth your while to download this software and put it to use. Get more information and download the software.
